    1. Re: [PAPHL] Mount Moriah Cemetery -- Request

    3. My experience some years ago at Mount Moriah was that the records were in books, like all the "A's" in one, and they were virtually unsearchable. I did have luck with the Urians, in a small book, and no luck with Arments or Funks, both bigger books. There seems to be no index by lot. When I asked how they knew if someone was buried in a lot, they replied that they ran a rod down. Certainly my husband's great-grandparents had no stone, and no perpetual care either, so it was not immediately obvious that a lot was occupied. A lot of the cemetery was like that. This is also a fairly large cemetery (in two counties, because it crosses Cobbs Creek -- the boundary), and over a hundred years old. I understand somebody was indexing for the Genealogical Society, but got carpal tunnel syndrome and stopped -- how far along I cannot say.
