  Birth	Aug 1772	Muhen, Aargau, Switzerland
  Christening	16 Aug 1772	Schöftland, Aargau, Switzerland
  Gender	Male
  Death	16 Oct 1867	Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  Burial	Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51
  Notes	Occupation Stone Cutter, as were his sons John and Samuel, per Passenger List for the good ship Howard, from Le Havre, France, arrived New York 11 Jun 1824. Samuel apparently spent his life in the United States in Philadelphia, moving there after 1824. In various Philadelphia city directories, he was listed as a stone cutter from 1829 to 1833. Between 1835 and 1847, Samuel was listed variously as a blacksmith, innkeeper, gunsmith, and locksmith, although there were also other persons named Samuel Lehman in those years. In the 1850 US Census he listed his occupation as 'None.' Then from 1854 to 1863 he was listed as a bricklayer, with the exception of 1862 when he was listed as a moulder, a person who carved stone. (Samuel's son George had been listed as a moulder in the 1850 Census) In 1867, the year of his death, Samuel was listed as a water color manufacturer, certainly working for his son-in-law Joseph Brutsche because his listed address, 250 S. 10th, was also Joseph's address, and Joseph was in fact a water color manufacturer. Samuel, Catharine, and their son David and David's son William were originally buried at Monument Cemetery in Philadelphia. Their remains were relocated to Lawnview Cemetery in 1956 upon the closure of Monument Cemetery and its acquisition by Temple University.

  		Monument Cemetery Relocation to Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge, Montgomery, Pennsylvania Monument Cemetery held over 28,000 graves when the land was purchased by Temple University to create a parking lot and athletic fields. While many graves were identified and relocated intact, including some of the Brutsches and Lehmans, the remains of over 20,000 people were exhumed and buried anonymously in a mass grave at Lawnview Cemetery. Most of the headstones from Monument Cemetery were dumped as riprap for the Betsy Ross Bridge over the Delaware River, many of which can be still seen today at low tide.

"Riprap is rock or other material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, bridge abutments, pilings and other shoreline structures against scour and water or ice erosion." - Wikipedia

  
  

  Documents		Lottenberg Quarry Disputes in 1797-1802 This file documents the disputes between brothers Samuel and Rudolf Lehman and the town of Muhen over the rights to quarry stone from the Lottenberg Quarry. The file ends about 1802 when it is presumed the Lehmans moved to Aarau.
  		Lottenberg Quarry We visited Muhen in 2018 with Sabine Scheichert and all indications are this was the site of the Lottenberg Quarry. There are deep cuts into the existing topography, with multiple stepped benches typical for a quarry operation.
