Schadel Family Burial Ground
Fleetwood, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA
Richmond Township: From Rt. 222 traveling north, right on School Rd. just north of Moselem Springs .7 mile, then left on Scheiry Rd .. 2 mile to gravesite on roadbank on left.
Size: 86' into the fields along both sides of the road and 106' along the road.
History: Plot was certainly disturbed when road was widened and black topped. Research is needed for identity of burials.
Gravemarkers and inscriptions:
Schadel Maria Catharin April 23, 1722-March 15, 1768 had 5 children
Observations: This site was very difficult to evaluate. On the road side away from the house we detected a steady line of broad activity. This appears to be a buried foundation or footers for a wall. This was also detected on the other side of the road. There was an unbroken line of activity right up the very center of the road. Perhaps the activity was caused by the disturbance of the soil when they built the road. On the outer perimeter on both sides of the road the detectable pattern was not so defined. The site has 9 rows with
approximately 110 burials. Did this happen before the road was black topped? Was there a court order granting permission to build a road over an historic graveyard? What happened to the tombstones?
Site address: Scheiry Rd. RD 4 Box 4030 Fleetwood
