Christian Bliem, a native of Manheim, Germany, was born
Christmas Day, 1711.
Emigrating to Pennsylvania in 1735, he settled on the tract near Pottstown which he had bought of Sarah Read.
Here he died, March 9, 1810. His wife is sup
posed to have been a sister of Hans Jacob Bechtel.
Their son Christian Bliem born February 23 1746 died February 21 1816 married Salome Longaker, born June 20, 1746 died September 5 1811 daughter of Jacob Longaker

In Allen Township at Siegfried's Bridge on the Lehigh River a half acre of ground was purchased by Jacob Baer, Jacob Heston, John Ziegler, and Samuel Landis, and with John Ziegler and Samuel Funk as a committee, a school-meetinghouse 26 x 30 ft. was built on it in 1802, for the purpose of leading the children "from the home to the school, the school to the church, and from the church to Heaven." In the first half century the membership varied between 60 and 100.
The ministers included Valentine Young, Samuel Musselman, Christian Bliem, John Bechtel, William Gehman, John Oberholtzer, Christian Clemmer, David Homing (1806-1881), William Shelly, Henry Diehl, Jonas Musselman, and Samuel Moyer.
In 1860-1880 the membership dwindled and services were held every four weeks by Samuel Landis, Lewis Taylor, and Jonas Y. Shultz.
The cemetery contains the Mennonite names of Bliem, Bechtel, Coppes, Funk, Gerhard, Geisinger, Heistand, Baer, Landis, Latshaw, Scherrer, Seiple, Swartz, Young, and Ziegler. In August 1884 efforts were made to repair the building and improve the burying grounds. By 1908 the building was sold to the school board, but apparently never used as a school
