OLD ABANDONED CEMETERY IN LOWER SAUCON
For your information, I have recently come by some more tombstone
inscriptions at an old, almost abandoned graveyard in Lower Saucon that 
I visited.  You are more than welcome to put this on the web as well.  I
received the information from a Susan M. Brown who lives at the site
adjacent to her house.  Information was sent in by Richard Buss. 
Thank you Rirchard and Susan.The information follows:

Mrs. George Herman, who was the widow of Edward Riegel, left by will a small
legacy to care for the upkeep of this cemetery. The cemetery is in such bad
condition, that one wonders why it is not given attention.
