My great grandfather was to have been buried there in 1900. His obituary stated it was in or possibly near Robesonia, but I can't find it. No doubt the name has changed but you'd think it would still list it as being one name and changing to another. Thank you ffro any and all help.

There were two sons both named Johan Adam (called Big John and Little John), Stoffel [a.k.a. John Christophel] and Elizabeth Catharine. Jacob Keller gave Stoffel a "considerable amount of money in gold, which he sewed in a belt and carried on his body". Landing in Philadelphia, he [Stoffel] walked to Rockland Township, in Berks County where he lived with the Reichert family, who were also from Nitsche. In Rockland Stoffel was a weaver and in 1765 at 18 years of age he married Catharine, a daughter of John Nicholas Delp (who came to America in 1749). Soon after the marriage, Stoffel secured a tract of land from his father-in-law, which he cleared and built a home on that remained the Keller home for 100 years. Stoffel Keller died at his old hom in November or December, 1834, at age of 89 years, his wife Catharine preceded him in death over ten years. . His son-in-law, Joseph Specht, Esq.

The Reading Eagle is a great source of information. It starts about 1867 and goes forward. For the Civil War period use. http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/ One word of caution about the Reading Eagle. While the paper is all there, there are incidences where there are two day listed under one date, so the second date appears not to be there. So if you are looking for a specific date check the paper before and after the date of interest. Secondly; the Eagle's index is horrible. Some pages are rotated and not scanned by the OCR, others are just missed. As an example if you manually go into Reading Eagle for July 15, 1873 you will find the obituary for Ephraim Barlet. If you search on either of his names you will not find it. I have found numerous other examples of names being missed in by the search. Point: don't give up if the search does not turn up what you are looking for. Find a better date for the event and look at the paper page by page from the date of interest to several weeks afterward. While it takes time, you will enjoy reading the old articles. They had a different way of seeing the world, and the wording is so different than what you would see in a paper today.
