Miller, the historian in Ancramdale, which is where Johannas and
Uldrick had adjoining farms, took a group from one of the Strevel,
Strevell, and Strever family reunion around to different cemeteries to
look at grave sites of the early Strevels and Strevers. It is unknown
where Uldrick`s gravestone is, but Johannas Strevel and his wife
Maria`s are still in place. The gravestones were very large and it was
easy to see the engraving on them |
|
Here are the direction to Johannas` and Maria`s gravestones: |
Start at the Ancramdale General Store. |
take Skyline past Cottontail - go approx .2 miles and go |
Left at the "Y" (go approx .4 miles) and go |
Left at the "Y" and go approx .6 miles |
At the "T" go left on Fernbank Rd |
Pass Cedar Lane |
go 1.3 miles and turn right on Hall Hill Rd. |
go 2.4 miles and turn left at the "Y" |
go .3 miles to "T" go right & then take immediate left into |
Barn (Silvernails) - there is the Dings Cemetary. |
|
To
see their grave stones one would need to go over the fence on the right
into what looks like a forest. It is actually not that big in there and
there are a number of graves (most flat on the ground) however,
Johannas` and Maria`s are still upright and in good shape. They are
fairly large and easy to find. |
