Photos 1991 by E. W. Williams
This vintage photo labeled "Lehigh Church" is from Memoirs of Rev. Joshua Yeager by A. R. Horne, 1889. The book contains entries such as "Names of Persons Confirmed at Lehigh Church", so the term is clearly meant as the church's name. We believe this image possibly depicts another church in Lehigh County, and was erroneously labeled in this publication. It depicts a 2-story building with tower on the gabeled end; not consistent with our photo of "The Lehigh Churhc/Zion's Lutheran". The church in our photograph has in its graveyard persons listed in the records of the Lehigh Church/Zion's Lutheran Church.
