To add to Karl's response for Hal: The connecting road between Rte 422 & Hill Church Rd is Mill St on the west side of Cleona, Kebanon county. Hill Lutheran is along that road almost to the top of the hill; the Hill Reformed is at the top of the hill on Hill Church Rd. The cemetery [joint] is located by the Hill Lutheran church. There is a second cemetery located on North Mill St - I believe this is connected with Fairland Brethren in Christ Church down the hill on 422? You also mentioned about Derry Church, just north of Hershey. There is a very old Presbyterian church located there with a small adjoining graveyard. The interments are listed on-line. I believe you can find them in the Dauphin county GenWeb archives - they may be on the Lebanon co Genweb homepage as well [I forget.] The St. Paul's Lutheran church between Hummelstown/Hershey is a different one than the Derry Pres. Church. -Linnea At 8:05 PM -0500 1/6/01, Karl Moyer wrote: >Dear Hal, > >(big snip) >> In the meantime following your description of the existing Hill Church, >> I found Hill Church Road running E-W for about a mile or so - parallel >> to US 422, NW of Lebanon as you said.
