There are also several graves without tombstones, one of them probably being that of John STUMP who in 1743 
had warranted to him the tract of land on which the burial ground is located, and who is very likely the father 
of John STUMP buried there.

Associated with the before mentioned STUMP burial ground, by reason of STUMP and KLEIN intermarriage and similar 
religious belief (Brethren or Dunkards), there is a private (KLEIN) burial ground on the west bank of the 
Northkill Creek, about a mile northward of Bernville, Pa. The tombstones there show the following inscriptions: 

KLEIN, Philip, b. June 17, 1942; d. May 9,    1815
KLEIN, David, b. March 2, 1746; d. Jan'y       28, 1814; m. Elizabeth

KLEIN, Elizabeth, b. Dec. 5, 1775; d.              March 2, 1812; dau.
of Philip
STUMP, Elizabeth, b. June 2, 1776; d. 
    April 25, 1854; m. George KLEIN

There are also several other graves indicated by limestone markers.

Inscriptions from the tombstones in a private burial ground in Penn township, Berks county, on what is locally known 
as the Dr. DEPPEN farm, about 3 miles southeastward of Bernville, Pa., along the stage road leading from Bernville 
to Mt. Pleasant (Obold), Pa. The burial ground is a short distance south of the road and contains the remains of a number
of the Roman Catholic faith.
