In the time range of 1940-1960, just to be on the safe side. I shall let you know what I find. But if you want to see a pic of 2 of the stones, go to findagrave.com and do a search for Mary Keim, Pennsylvania, SSchuylkill co. and you should get a hit for one in Scheuren's cemmie and click on the link and it should come up.

"The new owner of the farm land lives in the Lehigh area I think. I remember when I was about 11 or so that Pops(Robert Scheuren) brothers wanted to plow it under but was stopped by the courts when they announced their plans for the over grown, with trees and corrosion of earth & animal holes all over. I used to trap for ground hogs there & muskrats down at the creek & Uncle Clem would make ground hog soup & he & I would clean the musk rats for the fur. He would sell the pelts. I still had some of these traps in the 60's yet. I remember numerous headstones (at least one was about 3 or 4 ft high ) but very hard to read names. A family answered to the courts time frame of yes or no to allow for this to be leveled ( it was/is on a hill ) & that stopped it. The family did come out & they cut the trees & brush down and cleaned it up pretty good. Then it grew up with the brush & trees again & no one ever came back again as far as I know. I remember in the early 50's of Pop & a ga! ng of us setting up about a 25 foot high tower with a vhf/uhf antenna on top of it right next to the cemetary & running antenna tv cable all the way to our house ( a distance of about 600 ft or more ) to try to get channel 8 & 61 on the ' Midwest' tv that Pop got by mail as a kit & him & I put it together. We got figures behind 'snow' & every body screaming " look someone is on tv" Later we did get channel 61 ok but a while later an ice storm knocked the 300 ft tower down on the mountain near Cressona. This is from some of the things I remember of the good life growing up on the farm. Jim Scheuren." Just some interesting dialogue that I thought I'd share.

It reads in full: Hon. James Focht Dead. The death of Hon. James Focht, of Pottsville, occurred Saturday night, at the age of 77 years. Some time ago he contracted a cold which proved fatal. The deceased was ex-Associate Judge of this county and is well and favorably known. He leaves a widow and five children. David, a retired merchant of Mahanoy City; Clara; Charles, a civil engineer; Mattie and Henry. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Didn't find the other obit of 1913 though.
