William and Amanda Seiple. Date taken is unknown, but judging from the clothing it can be reasoned that it was sometime in the late 1890's or early 1900's. William Henry was born March 2, 185l , in Hilltown, Bucks County and died February 13, 1937, in Bethlehem, PA. He was the son of George and Caroline (Frankenfield) Seiple. He was a carpenter by trade. Contributor, Doris Norton states, " I remember in my childhood home we had a medicine cabinet that he built. In later years he worked for the Reading Railroad. He served for eight years as a member of the old South Bethlehem Borough Council and for six years was a member of the borough school board. He was a Democrat and was also a very patriotic man--actually knocking off with his cane, the hat of a man who had not removed his hat when the flag went by during a parade. My great-grandmother was born February 28, 1854, in Moore Township, Northampton County, and died June 10, 1937. My great grandparents raised my mother after her mother died when she was 7 years old."

Thank you Doris Norton for your contribution.
