I have just returned from my very successful trip to Berne and Adams
County. I was able to find the Schwartz Cemetary and more!!
If anyone else ever asks, the Peter Schwartz Amish Cemetary is located
on 300S just east of US 27. The Hilty Cemetary is first and on the left
side. Mostly Hilty, Mazelin and Steury families. Just a short distance
away on the right side of the road is the Schwartz Cemetary. We had to
open a gate and drive back a short distance. Most graves have only
wooden markers with initials and dates. The "grandest marker" actually
granite with engraving belonged to my aunt, Hulda Eicher who died as a
child in 1916. One of her brothers must have done that in later years.
The most amazing find was when we stopped for directions at an Amish
home. The RomaN D. Schwartz family of 350S in Berne has put together a
266 page biography/obituary of every person in that cemetary. We were
able to buy one for $14.50. What a wealth of informatin it has.
Family stories and information that is a treasure. We bought this
book at what looked like an Amish Adult Foster Care Home with Amish men
in wheelchairs . They were extremely helpful to us. I left the address
at my mother's house but can find it if you would like to see this
Amish family history for yourself. Very, very impressive!!!!! Thanks
again for all of your help.
