Biography
Catherine Egner's dates of birth and death, and her maiden name "Schnyder," are given on her gravestone at the St. Paul's Blue Church Cemetery in Coopersburg, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, with the inscription, "Wife of Johann Heinrich Egner," who is buried alongside. Next to them is buried their daughter Esther (d. 1836), with the inscription, "Daughter of John and Catherine Eigner."[1]
Note for further research: There was a family of Johannes Schneider in Whitehall Twp.; they were murdered by Indians in 1763.
↑ Page 13 from a cemetery list of St. Paul's (Blue) Lutheran Church in Upper Saucon Twp., Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The list was made around 1940, before the church excavated part of the old cemetery for its Sunday School, moving some of the gravestones to the back of the cemetery. The cemetery list was copied at the Pennsylvania German Heritage Library in Kutztown by Pat Diefenderfer, who sent this image of page 13 (together with the above explanation) to John Schmeeckle in July 2014. This data also informs the Findagrave profile of John Heinrich Egner, with links to the profiles of his wife and daughter Esther.
