Hi Once Again, Have to add something about this Cemetery..........The Gilliland Cemetery is near Orbisonia...............it is in Cromwell Township......Black Log Valley..............also, so is the Black and Bollinger Cemeteries. Has anyone ever made the trip to the Bollinger Cemetery ? Alot of GREAT memories........after sending the last e-mail I sat here and laughed........what we will not do to find our family members.........Hubby and I decided to take a ride in search of these Cemeteries. We found them...........The hike we took after getting out of the car I will not forget..........so hot and humid that day.........would you believe the Bollinger Cemetery was on TOP of a ridge...........we climed it though.......what a sport hubby is.........just to help me find a few family members that died years and years ago..........once at the top of the ridge........there stood an old cemetery with a fence around it............outside the gate layed ( I did tell hubby just to start digging and throw me in...I couldn't go back down that steep hill ) a shovel.........I wondered why...........we took photo's of the cemetery and, wrote everything down. I told hubby that I was NEVER climbing that ridge again. NOW, I am wondering how the heck they got the caskets/ people up that hill to bury them ??? The old Bollinger homme still stands ...the family who lives there took hubby and I up that ridge. They were really nice people......My Grandmother was a Bollinger. Has anyone else ever had such fun while out researching/searching for their family members? We still laugh to this day..........thanks for asking about the Gilliland Cemetery.......you brought back some good memories and a few laughs! Could use a few laughs !

Hi, I also am interested in the cemeteries in this area so I hope you don't mind me jumping in. Do any of you know if there are any MCGURVEY/MCGURVY/MCGARVEY/MCGARVEY/MCGERVEY/MCGERVY/M'GERVEY/etc. etc. buried in these cemeteries that have been mentioned? Thanks to this list I recently learned that my 'brick wall' ggrandmother was a twin who was born in this area and that her sister was given to a man named John Thompson when the girls were just 3 years old. They apparently never saw each other again because Mr. Thompson went out west somewhere. My ggrandmother, Harriet McGurvey/etc. moved at some point, while still young, to Newport, Perry Co PA. She was born Jan. 1, 1854 and I have nothing on her parents or siblings other than the info on her twin sister. Thank you, Elizabeth =================================================== --- STANLEY RUTHERFORD <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Once Again, > Have to add something about this > Cemetery..........The Gilliland Cemetery > is near Orbisonia...............it is in Cromwell > Township......Black Log > Valley..............also, so is the Black and > Bollinger Cemeteries.
