At the Schuylkill Co. Historical Society today, I found listed in the Jerusalem Congregation Church Records
our Joseph and Sarah BILLGER as buried in the Jerusalem Union Cemetery. I hurried down to Schuylkill
Haven to take a photo of their tombstone, but instead was overwhelmed by the extent of the grounds. All I
have is "row 18". Are there maps of the plots or records? Joseph Billger taught German at McKeansburg
school in 1845.Also buried there and I would like to find are Steward CRITZ, baby row 5 and next to him,
Levi and Alice WITMAN (erected by the men employed by the Mine Hill & Schuylkill Haven R.R. Co.)

My husband and I built a home in Lake Wynonah. I know my ancestors had two farms in that
area.We would like to know if anyone has information about the Krammes farms in the
Brommerstown Valley, Plum Creek area. I believe the one farm was sold to Simon Nagle in
the late 1960's.
