A note about George Zerbe:

"GRAVES OF "MEN OF 1776" MARKED

The work of erecting the Revolutionary War tombstones of Capt. Conrad Minnich and George Zerbe, early settlers of this locality, was completed early this week. ...George Zerbe is buried in St. John's Union cemetery, Friedensburg.

These graves, with the exception of one, all had red sandstone tombstones, which long since succumbed to the ravages of time and the weather.

Gowen Post, G. A. R. furnished the Grand Army markers for the graves, and the P. O. S. of A. and Washington Camp, of Friedensburg, and Dentzer Post, G. A. R., assisted by W. C. No. 73 and the I. 0. I. A. of Cressona, will assume the responsibility of decorating the graves on Memorial Day.

Three of these tombstones were obtained from the U. S. War Department, Quartermasters Corps, U. S. Army, D. C, by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott, who supervised their erection. The work at Friedensburg was done by the sextons of the church..."
