I saw a query from Beverly Wyld concerning a cemetery on N. Union Street (Aaron Hoffer Farm) on 3/21/04.  I believe I have that cemetery located and also a bit more information. There are 4 brown stones in German - The names were hard to read when I was there (A.M.), but it looked like Riph, Martin.  This seemed to be the oldest -- another stone was dated 10/31/1851, another had Elizabeth w/o John Nisley. B: Oct. 22, 1793, D: 4/17/1816, another had Maria Beucher (not sure about the "B")  another Andrew Miller.  This cemetery is about 20 x 50.. stones face to the West. There are more that are all but buried and broken. I have heard that there is a cemetery on the farm where your gift shop is located.  Can you help me with that? Thanks, Karl J. Fox PS:  I named it Nisley/Miller Farm Cemetery #243 in my book.

Karl, If I am reading your message correctly, you think there is a cemetery on what is today the Hoffer farm? I have been talking to my shop owner about the property and she has never mentioned this. I work tomorrow and will ask her or ask her to ask her mother, Mrs. Aaron Hoffer. I know there is another old limestone farmhouse more east of the Hoffer farm property. We took the train from Middletown to Hummelstown this fall and they did Civil War re-enactment in the area between this house and the train tracks. This, I believe, was a Daniel Engle farm many years ago. You have peaked my interest.
