Two precious ones from us is gone

Which never can be filled

***: Regarding the new stone that is now marking the grave of Abraham Adam Picklesimer. The
new stone has an error in the date.  He was born June 4, 1775, not 1776.  When reading the
old stone the last digit was read incorrectly.  John Wayne Picklesimer has the old stone,
after the new stone was installed, we found the error. Submitted Dec.2002 By: John Picklesimer
Picture of the old stone.. Submitted By; John Picklesimer Jun 2004

THIS CEMETERY HAS 20 TO 25 NONE LEGIBLE HEADSTONES IN IT.

Additions to the Abraham Pickelsimer Cemetery

These are graves that have been uncovered when the brush was cut off this
cemetery.  It seems to be in several sections and extends way up the hill.
There are between 30 and 40 graves that are not marked or marked with field
stones only, some standing and some lying down.  Abraham's son, Thomas that
was killed in an accident while digging a well about 1830 is supposedly
buried beside Abraham.  Re documented May 30, 2002 by Johnnie Lemaster.
