Short answer NO. Findagrave has many duel cemetery listings. Too many cemetery's with multiple names. From the Treasurer of "Union Cemetery of Bowers, Inc." "There is only one cemetery at that location. It is now known as the Bowers Union Cemetery, Inc. Years ago the cemetery was known as Chrtist (DeLong's) Cemetery when it was the cemetery for the Reformed Church. When the Reformed Church in Bowers & the Lutheran Church in Bowers formed a Union Church the cemetery became known as the Union Cemetery of Bowers. After the Union Church was destroyed by fire in 1900, the denominations each decided to built their own church. The Board of Directors of the cemetery consists of six members, three each appointed by each church. Lots are basically sold only to members of each church of relatives of those buried in the cemetery. Awhile back the Board of Directors created a *Union Cemetery of Bowers, Inc* for tax reasons."

Is there a seperation between Chirst (DeLong's) Cemetery and Bowers Cemetery? I was working on posting photos for some of the Oswalds in Christ (DeLong's) Cemetery that were recently discussed on this list, only to realize that there is also a 'Bowers Cemetery' listed on Findaagrave.com, physically located at the same place. I've always known it as Christ (DeLong's). There seems to be overlap between the two listings, and I can't see anything physically at the cemetery that would seperate the two or indicate the name Bowers Cemetery. Are they considered one in the same or two seperate cemeteries? What's the history of them? What is is formally and commonly known as. I'd like to get it cleared up so if it's correct, there is only one listing. Thanks, Glenn

I am trying to locate any information on a Conrad AuHage(Hage) and Christopher AuHagen (Hague) who arrived on the Friendship 19 Nov 1753. Conrad aged 43 signed his Oath of Allegiance as HAGE. Christopher age 20 signed as AuHage. I believe these men may have been father and son. I can find no record for them after their arrival except for a marriage of a Johannes son of dec'd Conrad Hage in Cocalico in 1781. As the ship sailed from Hamburg its likely the group traveling was from the area or possible some from a last stop at a Rotterdam. Many appear to be allied families. I am wondering if any one else on the list has come across anything on a Conrad Au Hage, Hage, Hoeck, Hague, Heck in Cocalico area while searching the following men. Christopher Wachter, John Volks, Henry Folks, Dietrich Mohl, Heinrich Christoph Delikamp, Christoph Mattheson, Peter Schmidt, Frederick Lorentz/Lorenson, Gottfried Leman, Christian Heinrich Lutterman/Luttman, Melissa
