Roland, I sure would like a look at those pictures. The folks over at the 168th site mentioned in my previous message have a photo and they are trying to determine or confirm if it is a photo of Col. Tippen. Tell me everything you know about the Stitcher Lodge, like where is it. I live about 7 miles from Pottstown. Actually the East End has never been the official name of the old section of the Pottstown Cemetery, although I've found obituaries going back to the 1890s that referred to it as the East End. You are right, it is in the north end of town, but the cemetery is on both sides of Hanover Street the old section is on the east side of Hanover and the newer section is on the west side of Hanover. That's how they got the names East and West ends. Betty Burdan
