A look at that address on Google Maps with the satellite reveals a graveyard 600 feet north of Peter's Road and 2 miles east of Seltenreich Church that measures about 30'x30'. The graveyard is in the fields to the west of the building at that address. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:28:22 -0800 > From: "Adam Boyd" <[email protected]> > Subject: [PALANCAS] Kurtz Graveyard, Earl Township > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: > <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Can anyone help me obtain a photograph of three tombstones from the Kurtz > Graveyard in Earl Township?
