I too would like a copy/scan of that information. I have searched for info on this for my husband's lineage. He is descendant of Hartman, Arendt, Oyler, Bushey, Mickley, Stoops, Eicholtz, etc., and a good number of them would have been in that cemetery. I have documented/photographed most of the headstones in the Greenmount Cemetery in Arendtsville with but one small section to be completed this month when I am in that area but would love to have definative information on those in that graveyard mentioned. I was under the impression that they were moved but do not have that documented.
