One of the largest sections of the referenced work is a chapter of smaller cemeteries in Shippensburg and the western townships of Cumberland County, plus a few located in Franklin. The burials in these cemeteries were not indexed. Jerry and Judy Thayer, the Cumberland County lookup volunteers for this work, figured that an index of all persons would speed lookup requests. They generously offered their compiled index to USGenweb for use in the Archives and on county pages. A Special thanks to both of them for preparing this extensive listing (2418 entries!).
