    1. RE: [PADAUPHI] Dauphin County's Baldwin Cemetery
    2. George F. Nagle

    3. For inquiries concerning the Baldwin Cemetery, direct them to its current owners, the William Howard Day Cemetery Company. Here is info on the Day Cemetery from the Afrolumens Project Website: "William Howard Day Cemetery, Dauphin County, 801 Lincoln Street, Steelton, Pennsylvania. William Howard Day Cemetery was established in the 1900's as a burial place for people of color excluded from the nearby Baldwin Cemetery, and is the cemetery most frequently used for burial by local African American families today. Named for educator Dr. William Howard Day, Harrisburg's first African American School Board President, the cemetery maintains an extensive database of all burials. Although created as an African American cemetery, William Howard Day has always accepted burials of all races, and ironically now owns neighboring Baldwin Cemetery, and is working to clean up and improve that historic, but neglected site. "Inquiries regarding the W. H. Day Cemetery should be directed to: William Howard Day Cemetery Company 801 Lincoln Street Steelton, Pennsylvania 17113 Telephone: (717) 939-9809 Fax: (717) 939-0354" George F.

You can drive through several of the narrow cemetery access roads. This isn't much, but I hope it helps you out. The GPS location is N40.14.679 W76.50.275. The Baldwin Cemetery book is available at the Capitol Area Genealogical Society's meetings held the 2nd Sunday each month, at 2:30 PM. The Perry Historical Society also has inscriptions. I personally did not check out the WOLF surname at any time in the Baldwin Cemetery, but my HIGHSPIRE.HTML listing has some 64 WOLF surnames, including 8 WOLFF surnames. You might want to check that out. The two cemeteries are just miles apart. <http://home.att.net/~charliefies/Highspire.html> -- Regards, CHARLES EARL FIES -- Fies Family Fotos <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/> FIES/FEES Family History Research Site <http://www.fies-fees.org> BABB - HARTMAN <http://home.att.net/~chasfies/Babbs.html> DAUPHIN CO.

    3. George & Mac: Many thanks for the update on the Baldwin Cemetery. I'm printing it out and inserting it into the book "Cemeteries of Dauphin County" by Karl J. Fox. I browsed your web site and am impressed at all the information you have there. Especially the write-up on the MCKAMEY family. Howard "Mac" Mckamey and I met while participating in target shooting, and have been keeping in touch ever since. As recent as this morning. Thank you again for the input on the Baldwin Cemetery.
