Martha GRIESEMER27 was born on 28 March 1889 in Amity Township, Berks Co., PA. She died on 22 May 1928 in Pennsylvania. She was buried in Schwarzwald Reformed Church, Exeter Township, PA. Birth date on stone is 22 May 1899, This can't be, mother would have been 58 at birth? Obviously a daughter of some other Griesemer. Anyhow, Martha married a Dietrich. She is not mentioned in brother's obit; but then again she was already dead. For this record I assumed birth date wrong and went with 1889. (Probably right, Martha lied about her age). Could be Clayton's daughter.
