Dear Joan, Maybe I can answer your question regarding Strayer's cemetery (from up here in New York). I guess it would be best if I would picture you in the city of Dover, York Co. Find West Canal St. and follow it southwest where it becomes just Canal Road. From the map I have I don't believe we're talking about a very long distance, but after you pass Salem Church Rd. which crosses Canal Road (BTW you've just passed Salem Union Church), not far down the road on the right is Strayers church and cemetery. And when you get there, I want you to pat two cemetery stones on the head for me. One is a marvelous large (not fancy) stone to the left of the church--maybe even the first row of tombstones--with its inscription written in German--John Schelli (1758-1814). The other is further to the left in the cemetery, you will probably not be able to make out the inscription, but it is the one of his daughter, Mary [Shelly] Houdeshell (1787-1863), wife of Emanuel Houdeshell. Don't spend any precious time searching for those stones--just give a warm wave in their direction for me. They were my dear, dear ancestors!
