Picture #1 is a photo of the cemetery stone of Henry Mohler. He was buried at the New Reading Cemetery, Reading Twp., Perry, Ohio. Buried next to him is his wife Mary, and Son John. The stone reads "Henry Mohler, died Apr 30, 1821, Age 43 years.". The age on his stone is evidently incorrect, as he was much older according to the 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses. He was more likely born about 1768.

Picture #2 is a photo of the cemetery stone of Mary Mohler There is no date of birth or death, so it is questionable whether she was actually buried there. Perhaps Mary remarried and was buried elsewhere. More likely, the stone was made prior to her death and when she died, the family never had the dates engraven. The stone reads "Sacred In memory of Mary Mohler, Consort of Henry Mohler & Was born". Mary was residing with her Son Joseph in the 1850 Census, age 80 years.

Picture #3 is situated to the left of the stone of Henry Mohler. The stone reads "Sacred In Memory of John Mohler & was Born July 24th AD 1796 & Dc August 16, 1828, Aged 32 years & 25 Days". John was the Son of Henry Mohler and Mary. He was christened at Emanuel Baust's Lutheran Church in Taneytown, Carroll County, Maryland on 11 Sep 1796. The date from the stone calculated to 21 Jul 1796. He was christened a little less than two months later.
