THANK YOU TERRY !

 

Shreiner's Church
The Susquehanna river is behind the church running left to right, downstream, Sunbury on the left, Selinsgrove to the right at the base of
the wooded ridge you see inthe background. Shamokin Dam is directly behind the church along the river on this side.

Sarah (Gensel) Long & grandson Samuel
This stone is in about the 4th row or so from the church. The rows run north and south. You can gain perspective from looking at the stones
and house behind it. Iam standing West of the church, facing West. Generally, the older stones are nearer the church. Her stone is just
South of Jacob's to follow. Under the ground,Sarah's reads: d. Apr. 28, 1866, aged 83y 4m 21d according to Tombstone Inscriptions of
Snyder Co. by G. W. Wagenseller., 1904.
