They were German immigrants and were of the Reformed faith. Does anyone know where the Mahanoy City Cemetery is located? Rosanne Troy Chesakis rmc2@psu.edu __________________________________ Yes, I know where the German Protestant Cemetery is located. On top of the Vulcan Hill which is just off Route 81. You take the road that directs you to Morea, New Boston and Frackville. The German Protestant is the first cemetery you come to. There are two sections...on the right is considered the 'new' section, on the left there is a parking lot and tool shed...this is the 'older' part of the cemetery. Those buried there are from various Protestant (and some Catholic) demoninations. The cemetery was compiled by Phillip A. Rice... on page 88... RUDLOFF, ILLEGIBLE, b. July 25, 1846, d. Sep ?., 1880 also a gray makrer with 4 or 5 illegible names page 90 RUDLOFF, George, b Feb 8, 1845, d May 18, 1897 there is another spelling that is close to Rudloff which may be related... RUDEOFF, George, no dates - Citizens Steam Fire Co., No 2 (which is a local fire company in MC) Hope this helps. Shirley Hannah Eliz., b Oct 13, 1851, d. July 9, 1897 p.s.
