The existence of this burial is based on its inclusion in genealogist Barbara Ford's 1995 book titled "The Oberholtzer Book". The photo provided by a find a grave volunteer shows the missing stone at the burial location (an incredible extra effort by the volunteer).

This family of Overholt/Oberholtzers appears to be directly related to the others buried in Bucks Co, PA. (including of course, William's father).

William Overholt was a Reverend in the Mennonite Church.
He and his wife Gertrude were the parents of eleven children, of which at least eight grew to adulthood.

- Middle Name Current: N., Suggested: Nash
Status - Declined (2 times)
THERE IS NO documentation even for the N as a first letter of a middle name. No documentation that he ever had a middle name. Nash was certainly his mother's maiden name. I have REMOVED the N because we have no headstone, and because some insist the placement of an N for middle name indicates his middle name was NASH. THIS IS NOT PROVEN! If you have any certifiable evidence of any middle initial or name, please attach as photo to this memorial.
