Wingerd Family Graveyard, Antrim Township, Franklin County, PA

42.Wingerd Family Graveyard

This graveyard is located on the farm belonging to David Rudolph, 1/2 mile east of route 887 and 1/2 mile north of Mason Dixon, Maryland, 966 feet southwest of the barn building.

The cemetery is no longer in use and is in fair condition. The plot was once surrounded by an iron wire fence on steel posts. The iron wire fencing has rusted away long ago. The surface of the ground has been covered with a layer of cement, in an attempt to negate the need for maintainence of the grounds. This cement has cracked in many places, allowing the weeds and some trees to take root therein, leading to the eventual complete destruction of the cement cover.

Some headstones have cement covering some of the data.

John F. W. Pflueger examined this graveyard Dec. 9, 1971.
