John Henry CHEETHAM 1840-1929;  Mary A. CHEETHAM 1846-1911; Willie M. CHEETHAM 1875-1876; Levi S. CHEETHAM 1871-1890; Levi K. MOORE 1822-1875;  Ellen R. MOORE 1820-1877; Agnes A.

Levi K. Moore was a son of Elias N.  & Mary B. (Kerst) Mohr/Moore of Union Township (my gr3grandparents), and brother of my gr2grandmother Charlotte K Moore/Mohr. He married Ellen R. Auchenbach at First Reformed Church.  According to History of Berks County by Morton Montgomery, p 191, "In 1845, Levi K. Mohr and Andrew Dehart began manufacturing large scales, establishing a factory on the corner of Cherry and Carpenter streets." His daughter, Mary Ann Mohr/Moore, married John Henry Cheetham, and the 2 sons on the cemetery stone are theirs. Elizabeth Cheetham Skudder seems to be the mother of John Henry who remarried N. D. Skudder.  Contributor: Diana Quinones
