TOMBSTONE PHOTO INSCRIPTIONS
Deeter Burial Ground Cemetery, Allegheny Township, Somerset County, PA

In Memory Of
John Deeter (Johannes Ditrich)
and his wife
Catherine nee Springer
died 1828
 Pioneer settlers of this community; settling on this farm at the close of the Revolutionary War
in which he served, receiving title from the state by patent dated May 17, 1793, this opening in the
mountain is designated on the map of Pennsylvania as Deeter's Gap.
He was a natural mechanic; erecting his own farm buildings constructing his own sawmill, cut
millstones for customers. This stone was cut by him and remained on these premises unused until
1933, when it was erected as a memorial to him and his wife by descendants.
