Note for: Daniel Siegfried, 1769 - 1821 Index
Individual Note: From the History of Northampton County, PA by William J. Heller (published 1920, Vol II. Page 530):
"The cemetery originally comprised one acre. It was conveyed March 10, 1770, "by Daniel Chambers to Joseph Showalter, Henry Funk, Peter Fried and Jacob Baer, in trust and for the Mennonite congregation of Whitehall and Allen Townships." When in 1802 the new meeting house along the road from Weaversville to Kreidersville was erected and the cemetery opened, few interments, if any, were made in the old plot. By special Act of Assembly, May 8, 1829, Jacob Funk, a surviving member of the old congregation, was given promission to sell the unoccupied part of the cemetery and use the proceeeds to erect a stone fence around the part containing burials. On the 28th of the same month the unused part was conveyed to Daniel Siegfried, a son of Col. John SIegfried. A stone wall three feet high and sixteen inches wide was subsequently erected; this wall was removed in 1885 and the present iron fence erected. When Twenty-first street was raised, the cemetery was also filled in to bring it up to the level of the street, and all the little mounds were covered over, and even the headstones, with the exception of those of John Siegfried and Jacob Baer, both of Revolutionary fame."
