    1. Re: [PALANCAS] Salem's Reformed Churchyard, Upper Leacock Township
    2. Pam Pearson
    3. "Churches and Cemeteries of Lancaster County" by Rineer says that Salem Reformed Church is now Salem (Heller's) United Church of of Christ, located on north side of Horsehoe Road, south of Leola. Heller's Church Cemetery adjoins the church. There are no comments about its condition, but it is probably good. Active churches generally maintain their adjoining cemeteries. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Boyd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 5:34 PM Subject: [PALANCAS] Salem's Reformed Churchyard, Upper Leacock Township >I am looking for help obtaining a photograph of a tombstone from Salem's > Reformed Churchyard in Upper Leacock Township.
