White Church Cemetery (Jacob's Church)

Part 1

Hesston, Penn Township

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

Transcribed and contributed by Debbie Fisher

This is the first of three transcriptions of the tombstones in the White Church Cemetery.  Many of the oldest graves in this section are hard to read.  I tried to provide as much information as I could.  However, there are some graves that were either unmarked or illegible.

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
