Tombstone Tuesday - Floyd E. Yohn




Floyd E. Yohn

Wife Martha Yohn – On Laureldale Cem. PA.



(small side stone inscription)
I am facing the east where the sun never sets – I am facing home where I shall rest. My feet point at the place where I was born, on that day, on a DeHart's farm. Floyd E. Yohn

Location: St. John's Church of Mt. Aetna, Berks County, PA

Floyd E. Yohn was my father's elder brother. He was born on his maternal grandfather's farm (Thomas Henry DeHart), which was located directly across a field from the hillside where the church and cemetery are located . Floyd's feet do indeed point to the site of the DeHart farm where he was born. Floyd's wife Martha predeceased him and was buried in Laureldale Cemetery, Reading, Berks County, PA next to her first husband.
