Breou's Atlas (1883) shows a "B.M. Presbyterian Parsonage and Graveyard" at that location. The "B.M. Presbyterian Church" and the "B.M. Presbyterian School" as well as another graveyard are a bit to the northwest. My guess is that the "B.M." stands for "Brandywine Manor" as that village is labeled. No idea what the "I.S." means on the gate, unless it is something in latin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary McIndoe" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 11:41 AM Subject: [PACHESTE] Can you identify this cemetery? > From a posting last year on the PA_cemeteries list, I found a list of > burials from a cemetery described as follows: > > an old cemetery in West Brandywine, on the corner of Horseshoe Pike (US Rt > 322) & Highspire Rd.
