_________________________

In the book 'Oley Valley Heritage' by Phillip Pendleton I found 3 photos
of the Schneider Cemetery (pp 109-111) in which my brother Bill located
the grave of Johannes Keim last year. Of particular interest to me is
one which shows the gravestones of Johannes Schneider (1687-1743) and
his wife Katarina (1688-1774) who had to be the parents of John Henry
Schneider, husband of Katarina Keim who was the eldest child of Johannes
Keim, and the first Keim child to be born in the new country. And this,
I think, explains why Johannes was buried here rather than on his
original homestead some four or five miles away. This cemetery is
reputed to be the oldest in Berks county and was recently somewhat
restored by groups in Berks county who are dedicated to the restoration
of colonial period cemeteries.

By the time Johannes died in 1753 the children from his first marriage
had dispersed as indicated in his will of 1747, in which he says:
'All my children from my first wife leave me as soon as them comes to
their age, saying to me, 'Father, what you have, you have occasion for,
your own self. We will go and see to get our living for our own self'.'
Three of these six children married into well-established Oley families,
one becoming a prosperous storekeeper in Reading; the other three moved
away. (page 137, Oley Valley Heritage)

P. S. Oley Valley Heritage, The Colonial Years: 1700-1775 (232 pages)
was published in 1994 by the Oley Valley Heritage Association and is
available from the Reading Historical Society for about $40. It is a
thorough history of all details of the Oley Valley during that period,
and there are many references to the Keim family. In fact, the jacket
picture is of the Jacob Keim house (1753) and inside jacket picture is
of the DeTurk house (1767). Bertha DeTurk was Johannes' first wife, and
I presume that her family came shortly after she and Johannes emigrated
to America, lured by Johannes's description of the area.
