In Upper Nazareth there were 31 children born, 22 males and 9 females. Forty deaths were recorded 25 being males and 15 females.

A large number of people stopped during the day to examine the relic of the old-fashion ed water system as maintained by the Moravians during the early days of Bethlehem. "Tne pipe line was uncovered at a depth of about four feet below "the surface of -the street. Although only about three feet of the pipe line was brought to light, the line was found to run parallel with the east gutter of Main street in a direction leading from the old water works near the Hill-to-Hill bridge toward the Inn. log was of hemlock, about a foot- in a two inch boring through the center.

The pipe was found to be in as excellent a condition as the day It was laid with only on inch of the outer surface affected by rot. Vfe Many old-timers attempted to as certain the age of the pipe, but could come to no definite conclusion othT than that It was laid prior to 165. An account in Bishop Levering's "History of Bethlehem" states that the first, steps toward bringing the water by mechanical means from the large spring near the Hillto-Hill bridge to the houses in the village was begun In 1754 by Hans Christiansen, the millwright, and John Bbehmer, the- -West: missionary. With Ingenlousness they constructed a mill and pump and solved the piping question by rafting carefully selected hemlock logs down the Lehigh River from Gnadenhuetten. From these rough-hewn logs the pipes were constructed, being Jointed togethj by ends which were carefully caulked together.

The first water to the Inn and the few houses March, 1754.., The 'Sun, Inn was completed in 1760 and thevwater works enlarged in 1762, the first water over the new line being pumped on the sixth of July of that year. Although there have not been found definite records In regard "to this particular stretth of piping, it is believed that it was laid about this iime to convey water to the Inn nad the few houses that adjoined It. Iron pipes were first used in 1813 and by 1825 iron and lead pipes had completely superceded the old system-It was in connection with this latter-, system that 7 reservoirs wore constructed a little east of Green Street, on the higher ground north TOPIS 6AMB0A PEbRO MKaUSL LOCK' "UeMT,) tlFT 30 spent, the legionnaires reaching troit at 3 that afternoon.
