I don't know anything about Hyde Park and Shady Lane but my parents are buried in Abington Hills Cemetery and when I was up there in October I noticed the cemetery was fixed up (grass cut, etc.). It had been in terrible shape since the former owner absconded with the funds. We had paid for perpetual care and it hadn't been taken care of for several years.

The name of the cemetery is officially The Hyde Park Cemetery though, I believe. You can get information on people buried there through the Charles Rader Insurance Company. Chick Rader is the owner of the Hyde Park, Shady Lane, and Abington Hills Cemeteries. He bought them from Jack Rogan who was indicted for mis-using the funds from the cemeteries while he owned them. > > > ==== PALACKAW Mailing List ==== > Visit the Lackawanna County, PA Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/lackawp.html > To unsubscribe: http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/index.html#MailingList > >
