I am Michelle (Bossert) Mazza. I am from Perkiomenville and have been researching my father James Bossert's side of our family. I have found many different spellings of the last name. My father James H. Bossert, from- James W. Bossert, from-Washington H. Bossert, from- George S. Bossert ... I also have gone to Frieden's Church and walked the graves and documented stones. Some are spelled wrong but related. I am still checking into Johannes Boffert and Barbara Bossert's stones. Johannes is written in German. They are side by side and the church has a copy of her orbit. on file which I have coied. She was deffinitely his wife and they had a large family. Her stone states Wife Of Johannes. George & Catharine Bossert are also buried their next to two of their children. Ida L. Bossert & Samuel B. Bossert. The childrens stones are spelled correctly. George & Catharines are not though. George's showing - Father - George S. Bosserd -Born 11-17-1842 -Died 12-11-1903 - 61yrs & 24 days old. Catharine's showing - Mother - Kate S. Bosserd -Born 03-1-1845 -Died 07-22-1924 - 79 yr, 4 months & 21 days old. Samuel's (which is to the left of Father's) shows - At Rest - Samuel B. Bossert - Born 05-01-1883 -Died 05-16-1928 - 45 yrs. & 15 days old. Ida's (which is to left of Mother's) shows - Ida L. Bossert - Born 10-28-1880 -Died 06-29-1936 - 55 yrs. 8 months & 1 day old. Two of their other children are also in the cemetary but in other lot area are John B. Bossert & Adam Daniel. Both of their satones do say son of George & Catharine Bossert. John dying at only 26yrs. old and Adam at only 18 yrs. old. I do also know alot more info. I could go on forever. One of their other sons that would be my great grandfather is buried their too. Washington H. Bossert along with his wife Emma Laura (Erb), their one daughter, & Emma's father William D. Erb. Frieden's cemetary has many members of St. John's Church up the street buried their. They share the cemetary. I have figured out alot of info. about George & Catharine (Kate) & their family, but am always looking for more.
