The WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY, off North Street in Mifflintown, was our favorite playground as children, particularly during sledding season. It is the resting place of local shero Nancy Kulp, "Miss Jane" of "The Beverly Hillbillies;" '60's kidnapper of Peggy Ann Bradnick, William Hollenbaugh; and my parents.

Years ago I was wandering round a graveyard in Durham Co. on a snowy day. Graveyards are easier to transcribe in winter when vegetation has died back. Under my coat I had a tape recorder into which I was reading the headstones for later transcription. To clear moss and snow I had a small brush. Near the graveyard wall I tripped over a branch buried in the snow and in an effort to protect the tape recorder I fell flat on my face. I uttered a few choice words and from the wall heard 'Tut Tut Tut.' I looked up to see two police officers who had been told about a strange man shambling around the graveyard, scrabbling at the stones and muttering to himself. #genealogy #graveyards
