I went to Leverington Cemetery in Roxborough in HOT, HOT July, summer of 2005! There was a day school at the church next door, but no one in the church office. The cemetery was a mess - trash everywhere, not mowed, bees and flying insects all around! I walked, anyway, up and down several sections looking for HIPPLE and WEIDNERs who were buried there, and never found them. Found a daughter of William HIPPLE and his wife Elizabeth unk, also named Elizabeth who m a SANDERSON. I was looking for his (William's ) parents, Lawrence HIPPLE who m Anna Maria WEIDNER. They had a dau Rosina HIPPLE who m Jonathan Hager LEVERING and were also supposed to be buried there. Never found them nor even the monument for Wigard LEVERING who had given the land for the cemetery. Some areas were too trashy and with wasps and buzzy bees to walk near some of the stones! And I was in shorts/sandals for hot July! I inquired of the dayschool teachers at the church if anyone knew where I could find someone who would know about burials there. One told me to go up the street to a funeral home that she knew had interred someone there. So I drove up to the funeral home (can't remember the name now) , but the office didn't know, and gave me a phone number of someone who dug the graves there! I felt like I was on a wild goose chase for the dead! I gave up! I had been to the Germantown H/S and while I never found a complete list of burials there for this cemetery, I did find and copy pages of the Levering book which listed the LEVERINGs there and the WEIDNER that I was looking for. But as far as a photo of any tombstone there for them.....nada! So.......is there a list of burials for Leverington Cemetery anywhere now? If so, can someone give me dates for Rosina/Roseanna HIPPLE LEVERING born 1825 - ? and her parents Lawrence HIPPLE and Anna Maria WEIDNER? Also for Elizabeth, wife of William HIPPLE, as her stone was so faded that you couldn't read her dates. I did find her, born 7/17/1843 died 7/??/18??.......... Thanks.... Diana in AL
