    3. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look for a marriage record ca 1848, or a death record ca 1878? I am led to believe the death took place in Snyder County, but the marriage may have been in Montour, Northumberland, or Snyder. Does anyone know if civil marriages were performed as early as 1848? I am also looking for the records of the Reformed Grave Yard near Selinsgrove; does anyone know what church this is associated with? or where the records are archived? I am searching for both a marriage record and a death record for Jacob SHEETS (aka SHEETZ), who lived in Northumberland and Snyder Counties. He was born ca 1825 in Pennsylvania, and, according to an LDS IGI record, in 1848 he married Sarah Ann WEIDENHAMER, daughter of Jacob D. and Susannah K. (DREIBELBIS) WEIDENHAMER, formerly of Berks County, who farmed in Limestoneville, Montour County. I have located 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses for Jacob SHEETS; he worked as a hotelkeeper in Selinsgrove in 1860 and in Sunbury in 1870. According to an unsourced family history document, Jacob SHEETS died ca 1878 in McKees Half Falls, Snyder County. The WEIDENHAMER family attended Follmer's Lutheran Church and Paradise Lutheran Church in Northumberland County, but neither church has a record of Jacob SHEETS' marriage to Sarah WEIDENHAMER. Buried in the Reformed Grave Yard near Selinsgrove, Snyder County, is "Jacob Adam Sheets s/o J. & S. d, 8 Feb 1858 aged 1y 22d." I believe he may be a child of Jacob and Sarah. I would like to locate more information on this burial.
