I am interested in Conrad Lauer/Lower who married Catherine Rummel and his brother John who married her sister Elizabeth as mentioned in the will of Johan George Rummel of York and then Adams Co. Conrad and Catherine had John born 1897,Sarah 1807,Conrad 1808,George 1810,and Henry 1813 all baptised at Benders Church Arendtsville, Adams Co. Conrad and Catherine(Katy) lived there their entire lives and are buried there. John and Elizabeth had Catherine born 1797,Elizabeth 1798 and Mary 1801,perhaps others. I would be interested in your thoughts. Nanette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

    2. Vanessa Stern
    3. Findagrave.com has a listing for a Wolf's Reformed church cemetery in Manchester, York County. When I was there several years ago, I took a picture of a plaque that said it is St. Paul's (Wolf's) United Church of Christ, founded 1763, and I thought it was in West Manchester. Are they one and the same cemetery, or are there two separate places? Vanessa
