Hi Earl, By any chance is there a Union Cemetery in Dauphin Co. listed in your book? I have been trying to locate this one with no luck so far. It is mentioned on one of the death certificates I have. Susan [email protected] On Mon, 5 Jan 2004 09:32:50 -0500 "Earl H.

The first volume of Oscar Stroh's "Dauphin County Tombstone Inscriptions" lists the Stone Church Cemetery and the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery, both in Elizabethville. You could probably find a copy of this book in any of the Dauphin County or nearby county historical societies. There are several books by Stroh, this one is the largest at over 200 pages and lists about 60 cemeteries. Jim Ensinger

I am trying to locate a cemetery in Dauphin Co., PA. In Jonas Hoke's pension papers a cemetery is named as "The Old Cemetery in Elizabethville." The period date is abt 1868. Does anyone know what cemetery this is and if there is a survey on line for it or maybe in a cemetery book and someone can do a look up for me. I also was told this may be the Valley View Cemetery, Elizabethville, Dauphin Co., PA. I am looking for a Jonas or Caroline Lovina Moyer Hoke. Please Help. Helen L. Smith Hoke (I chase dead people....and they are so far ahead of me, I'll never catch up. I think they're hiding under rocks.)

Sue, Thank you very much for the information. Are you researching this family? Betty

Thanks. I went to the Historical Library in Allentown today. I found that my William A. Rattler's father was actually Adam J. Radler who married Catherine Henn. Interesting, huh?

From various censuses (1850 - 1910) - Christian and Charlotte Rahter and their children: Christian Rahter, emigrated 1842 from Bremen, Germany Charlotte Rahter, emigrated 1842, born Sep, 1809, a widow in 1900 and living with widowed daughter Charlotte Beiber. Children: Ferdinand, b. abt 1832 in Bremen, married Kate. Henry, b. abt 1834 in Bremen, married Barbara and had at least 8 children. Charlotte, b. April, 1837 in Bremen, emigrated 1842, married William Beiber and had at least 8 children Charles, b. abt 1840, married Mary R. Adolphus, b. abt 1842, married Elizabeth Benjamin, born June, 1844, married Henrietta first and then married Annie (Nellie) Mary, born 1850 David P., born May 1854, twice married (name of first wife unknown and she died before 1900)- 2nd wife was Mrs. Sonora McGovern (born in Mexico) and married David 1909. Hope this helps

Rita, I have seen the name spelled RATHER in a few censuses but in all other cases it has been RAHTER. The family was in Littlestown, Adams County. A few were in Gettysburg,Philadelphia, and, of course, Harrisburg. Have never come across RATTLER. Also, have not seen an Allentown connection. Christian RAHTER and his wife Charlotte WEHMEIER immigrated abt 1845 from Prussia to Littlestown (after a brief stay in Conestoga). Betty

Thanks so much. I will definitely check this out thoroughly!

have your ever seen the name spelled as Rattler? I am willing to share what I have on the Rattler family who lived in Allentown, PA. I can find nothing prior to 1880. I am willing to share what I have if you think there was a spelling variation.

I am researching the RAHTER family. Dr. Charles A. RAHTER and his son Dr. John Howard RAHTER lived and practiced in Harrisburg. Charles is my husband's great uncle and is buried in the Harrisburg Cemetery in the RAHTER family plot. He was a Civil War Surgeon. Is anyone on the list also researching this family? Thank you.

Hi, In 1790 it just says Dauphin county, unknown township In 1800 it says Dauphin county, Lower Paxton Twp In 1810 it says Dauphin county, Swatara/Middletown I cannot find him in 1820 census records, so maybe he died.
