3. Relatives To Research: 22 May 1985, Lebanon, Lebanon, PA. From the Lebanon Press and Journal, May 22, 1985 in Brossman's "Our Keystone Families" column:

Sehler - Sahler - Seiler - Saylor Family.

William D. Saylor of 627 State Drive, Lebanon, Pa. 17042 has found more information on his family and desires help to clear up unknown factors.

Last fall while visiting his ggg-grandfather's grave, Philip Sehler, b. 6 Jun 1726 d. 8 Sep 1797 he had the good fortune of discovering a buried sandstone broken from its base which was covered with earth and grass. This was adjacent to Philip's grave.

After removing the stone and washing it down, he was able to decipher some of the German inscriptions on both sides of the stone. A great deal of the inscription is gone due to the erosion but the information on the front appears to read as follows:

"Hier Ruhen Die Gebeine Von Philip Geboren Oct 11, 1701, Gestorben 1776"
Translation: Here rests the bones of Philip born Oct 11, 1701, died 1776.

In view of the location he velives this was his gggg-grandfather, Philip's father, and may very well be the Philip Heinrich Soller (List 8B) which left Deal, England 15 Jun 1728 (the voyage took 88 days). Also on this same ship was Hans George Seyler (List 8A) and Hans Seyler (List 8B).

Does anyone have any information from church records, the Reading Adler, or other sources, which would provide a notice of death or burial for the year 1776 of Berks County which might list the name Sheler, Soller, Seler, Seller, Soeller, Sahler, Seiler, etc. or a close derivative thereof?

On the reverse of the tombston the following words are discernible:

Ich Bin Gewiss dass Dieser Lieb Im Grab Verbleiben Tag von ___ Ewigen ____.
Translation :I am assured that this body in the grave remains day of ____ eternal ________.

Since some of the older tombstones tend to have similar inscriptions, poems, etc. can anyone tell him what the missing words might be?
