Delia Hess was born near Springtown, PA., February 12, 1863. In September, 1883 she was married to Adam S. Seifert, a farmer (son of George W. Seifert), born art Springtown, PA., January 7, 1864. He occupies the original Seifert tract, first known as "Moldavia", which was granted to John Moffitt in 1743, and purchased by the Seifert ancestors in 1786. The old residence, a log structure, which has been newly weather-boarded and modernized ( David Seifert note-wow, I'll bet that meant a pump in the kitchen, if the kitchen was indoors) by the present owner, is probably the oldest house standing at Springtown. The stone barn, erected in 1789, is still standing in excellent condition.The ruins of an old ice cave and vaults "among the willows" opposite the farm house, are relics of by-gone days, and were used for dairy purposes and storing vegetables
