John Seiple served in the 53rd PA, Co. F and fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. John was wounded on the first day somewhere between Barlow's Knoll and town. The 153rd was flanked and routed and driven through town. After he was wounded, he made his way through town to the German Reformed Church at the corner of Stratton and High Sts., where he sought refuge. This church was used as a hospital throughout the 3-day battle. When the Rebels took the town, he became a prisoner in the church. He remained there until the Rebels moved out on the third day. He was taken south of town to the 11th Corps field hospital, which was the George Spangler farm's barn; the barn still stands today. John died an agonizing death of lockjaw in that barn.

William and Amanda Seiple. Date taken is unknown, but judging from the clothing it can be reasoned that it was sometime in the late 1890's or early 1900's. William was a carpenter by trade. Contributor, Doris Norton states, " I remember in my childhood home we had a medicine cabinet that he built. In later years he worked for the Reading Railroad. He served for eight years as a member of the old South Bethlehem Borough Council and for six years was a member of the borough school board. He was a Democrat and was also a very patriotic man--actually knocking off with his cane, the hat of a man who had not removed his hat when the flag went by during a parade. My great grandparents raised my mother after her mother died when she was 7 years old."
