The following has been posted a couple times: "George Keim, grandson of Johannes and grandfather of William R., was born April 10, 1776, and died July 11, 1859. He owned a large farm near Pikeville, now the property of Moses Eberhart (the Eberharts and Keims are intermarried). In 1805 Mr. Keim married Susanna Mensch, born April 10, 1780, and died Aug. 24, 1865, after fifty-four years of wedded life. Both Mr. and Mrs. Keim are buried in a private burial ground on their farm, located in the orchard back of the barn." My research buddy in Berks Co, PA just sent this note: > > You remember I mentioned that the guy at the Lobachsville church said > they'd found a note years ago in the church saying some Keims had > been moved there from another place - BUT there were no names?
