I'm trying to find a Lutheran cemetery in Petersburg. In a, Oct. 8, 1854 death cerificate, Andrew Walker is listed as having been buried in the "Lutheran Burial ground in Petersburg." Does Petersburg still exist under that name? Many thanks. Donna Heron Researching WALLACE, WALKER, FLEMING, HENWOOD, RHOADES OR RHODES or RODES and GROB 122. Andrew WALKER, white, male, about 50 yrs.

Hi Donna, Petersburg is now Duncannon. Unfortunately the Perry County GenWeb archives does not show a Lutheran Cemetery there, and your Andrew Walker doesn't show up in the Union Cemetery. Perhaps he's in one of the other cemeteries in the archives.
