ANDREW TREIBLE
I was treated with the perfect cemetery day this week when I stopped at Zions Lutheran. It's off of River Road, Middle Smithfield Township, Pa. It was Sunny, cool and NO snow on the ground. I can’t complain when it the 6th of January. The sun was at a perfect angle to catch a look at some of the stone faces.
Andrew Andreas Treible was born 6 August 1825 to John and Mary Michaels Treible. He was a blacksmith and he and his wife, Catherine Reinheimer 1826-1905 lived in Middle Smithfield, Township, Pa. Catherine was born in Warren County, NJ the daughter of Joseph. They had three children: Franklin 1851-1933, Mary Margaret 1856-1929 and William 1856-1894. They are both interred at Zions Lutheran church Cemetery, Pa.

The Church and Cemetery can be found, about 2 miles northeast of the Shawnee On Delaware, Pa. crossroad of River Road and Church Road, in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
The church cornerstone was laid on June 16, 1851.On property probably owned by George Michael. In 1974 a determination was made that there were approximately 210 souls buried here. The cemetery is well maintained with a few stones fallen over, but no weeds. The church building is still standing, doesn’t look bad for park property. It still has a foundation, windows, and a roof. Not in need to be torn down and has all it’s windows and is used by the park for their Office of Preservation and Design.
