Burials in Zion Lutheran Church Records 1771-1801
Comments were made by the pastor, Henry, Muhlenberg Jr)

Dippel, Child , 7 May 1779, Zion Churchyard.
The 7 month old child of Johannes Dipple was buried in our church yard.

Dipple, Lucas, 16 Jan 1774, Bedminster Church
He was the old patriarch. He was born in August 1696 in Hessisch (i.e. a Hessian kingdom), was married in May 1722, and had sired 12 children of whom 6 are still alive. He died the 14th of January 1774 aged 77 years and some months. During his long sickness he was often visited by me (Henry Muhlenberg Jr) and also had visits from other pastors passing through. I found him completely in faith of Paul 1 Timothy 1:15. He was humble in his demeanor, held firmly to the promises of the Gospel, and remained patient to the end. Also, in his great weakness, he died completely in the Gospel of Christ. The funeral text chosen by him was Psalm 73.

Tippel, Child, 7 Sept 1777
A child of John Tippel, died from the red flux (dysentery).
