from pg 28, "The Descendants of Peiter Heyl," by Elizabeth Hoyle Rucker (publ 1938):
"Both 'Pioneer Peiter' Heyl and his wife, Catherine Dales were supposed to have been bur. on the old Peiter Heyl estate till recently. Now, we think it very probable that they were bur. at old Grace German Reformed and Lutheran Church where their son, Lieut. John Hoyl and wife, and John's children and grandchildren - many of them - are bur."
[skip...pg 31]
"My brother, J. Lee Hoyle, Walter Hoyle of Newton, and I drove out to this quaint old Church, and searched very diligently to see if we could find 'Pioneer Peiter's' grave; finally, Walter Hoyle pulled up a stone which had been at the head of some grave, and on the under side, which had been bur. in the ground, there was a large capital 'P' just where it would have been placed if only the two initials 'P.H.' had been used, as was often done at that time. I feel sure that that stone had once marked our Pioneer Ancestor's grave - a life short in years, only about fifty, but long, very long in unusual things accomplished."
