White Church Cemetery (Jacob's Church)

Hesston, Penn Township

Part 2

Latitude 40-24-13N Longitude 078-05-52W

Transcribed and contributed by Debbie Fisher

This is the second of three transcriptions of the tombstones in the White Church Cemetery. Most of the stones in this section are newer burials. However, there are still some graves with markers that are not inscribed. There are also a few graves that were relocated when the US Army Corps of Engineers filled Raystown Lake.

I have family connections to many of the people buried in this cemetery, and I would be happy to share any additional information I might have. - Debbie Fisher
