Chambersburg,
Pa.
born October 5, 1805 Völkersleier, Germany
died April 13, 1868 Chambersburg, Pa.
Immigrated from Völkersleier in Bavaria, Germany, with his wife, Esther,
arriving at the port of Baltimore on August 12, 1834. On the same
vessel were Michael Greenawalt and his
wife, Rachel, probably close relatives of
theirs. The two families never parted ever since. After a few months in
Maryland they moved to Hanover, York Co., Pa., before establishing
themselves in Chambersburg in 1847. Originally a bookbinder, Alexander
Stine earned his living as a baker and grocer.
The epitaph is badly weathered and partly illegible.
