Hi, from Interstate 80, take the exit at Brookville for rt 36 north. Go north on 36 for about 7 miles and you'll come to Sigel, at the flashing light, make a left(this will be by Trumans store - great place to stop!). This will be the Sigel - Fisher Road (do not follow the signs for 949). You stay on this road for about 5 or so miles and you'll find the Kahletown Church and Cemetery on the left. It's not hard to find, the cemetery is very well maintained. There is a bunch of unmarked graves - my aunt is the Secretary for the association. I have a copy of the plot map which I can check for you if you'd like. The plot map was done in the 50's or 60's I think. It's not totally accurate as they've had a few "surprises" when they've gone to bury somebody and dug into an unmarked grave.

Is there a Windy Hill in Jefferson County and if so what are the names of the cemeteries in the area? Thanks! Regina

There is a Windy Hill cemetery, and that's what it's called. I've been there, but didn't have time to do an index. If you have access to Tombstone Hoppin' it was indexed about 20 years ago. You might try your local LDS reading room.
