It is always wonderful to here about finding more LOST stones that haven't
seen the light of day in years..In 2003-2004, John Walters of Graveyard
Groomers restored this Washington Township cemetery at 4100 Millersville
Road, and located additional stones just under the soil by probing..
Just last week volunteer Jeff Osdol who photographs stones for FIND A GRAVE,
noticed some depressions in the soil and found 4 marble slabs with the
following inscriptions:
Aunt Alice Mary A. White 1861-1931
Uncle Lon Alonzo White 1854-1945
Minnie Gatewood 1876-1884
Ruth Hofmann 1894-1896
These stones were not read on the 1957 reading so this is a real find.
Saturday I was placing American Flags on the Vets graves and brought 2 of
the 4 stones up to level ground..Will do the other 2 Monday. This cemetery
was heavily vandalized and neglect has taken it's toll over the years. It
is beautiful today and the Washington Township trustee is doing a good job
with mowing. For complete cemetery reading go here:
