• Notes

  91 yrs 3 mos 21 days (See http://berks.pa-roots.com/cemetery/StJohnsHostOldChurch.html#HenryLeiss) Son of John and Catherina Elis Leiss. Per Diane in Alabama - estate files show he died in Tulpehocken. Husband of Anna Barbara MEIER. Inscription He is not the son of John Leiss. His father's name is John Peter Leiss. When researching Pa. German names forget the use of John or Johan. The 2nd name, the ruff namen, is the correct one.
