The cemetery walk being our first venture at it, we will be pleased if we get a handful of people. It is still an active cemetery. I think it has been a few years since one was buried there. The historical society did a major clean up at the cemeteries several years ago and repaired needed stones. There are probably more that could use TLC now. The town mows the abandoned cemeteries a couple of times a year and members tend to them when branches need to be moved. It is truly a beautiful cemetery. I will attempt attaching pictures, but not sure that is allowed. If not go to http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Parish-Community-Recreation/ and I will post the pictures there, for those interested. I would be happy to do an update on the success of our walk. I am looking forward to portraying myggggrandmother Mariah Heiser Miller. Chris-- if you would like to share information on your "Charles and Hannah Johnson and some of their children " The PTHS would love to create a folder or add to an existing folder.

I remember it being just a scattering of stones, some fallen and broken, in the middle of the woods. Has it changed much? My ancestors Charles and Hannah Johnson and some of their children are buried there.
