Best Wishes, Geri -----Original Message----- From: Guy Bierman Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 3:36 PM To: PABERKS-L Subject: [PABERKS] Col. J. Hiester I did find 2 PA Historical Markers on line. One at 439 Penn St., Reading. Marking site of house occupied by Joe. And apparently there is one near Leinbachs, marking the Hiester Mansion, part of the Berks County Welfare Farm. Wonder if mansion still stands? Anyway I wanted something more related to his Revolutionary War service. Was adding a page to BCGS book, "Berks Soldiers in Revolutionary War". Wanted a new picture with his bio. Maybe I will look at the head stone and ask at the HSBC. Have to get a picture of George Nagles Historical Marker at HSBC. ==== PABERKS Mailing List ==== PABERKS@rootsweb.com To contact the List Administrator: Rick Berkheiser, PABERKS-admin@rootsweb.com To visit the Berks Message Board: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.berks To visit the Berks County, PA website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~paberks/ Hosted by Nancy Freehafer ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PABERKS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
