Newspaper Mention | 11 September 1907 | The 11 September 1907 edition of the Danville Morning News, Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania, reported "Old Cemetery is Passing Wolf Monument will be Removed to Odd Fellows' Cemetery The old cemetery on Bloom street is passing. Only half a dozen tombstones remain erect, a mere suggestion of the familiar old burial ground in which the first settlers were buried and which for over a hundred years occupied the well-known site. The work of grading is already under way and in a few days, the last trace of the famous old landmark will be effaced. The old cemetery being oblitered, the tract must henceforth be known as the "park." The tract is driven full of stakes, on which by means of stout cords is indicated the grade.....[paragraph on the process of the grading].... Yesterday the remains of John Lunger and wife, Anna, were being removed by Samuel Lunder, a son. The bodies of George and Sarah Lunder, were also being exhumed by Charles, William and Harry Lunger, sons of the couple. Other members of the Lunger family will also be removed. All will be taken to the Odd Fellows' cemetery. The monument in the northeast corner erected tot he memory of the Wolf family will be removed to the Odd Fellows' cemetery along with the remains of Hiram Wolf, David Wolf, Josiah Wolf and Leah, wife of Samuel Wolf. Hiram Wolf was First Lieutenant in Company H, Second Pennsylvania volunteers, Mexican War. He was born July 9, 1823 and died March 5, 1866. The two granite tombstones near the center, marking the graves of Zachariah and Jane Ross, will be removed to Bloomsburg. The date of birth on the oldest of these is 1761; of the death 1816. Jane Ross died in 1820 aged 94 years. Two tombstones belonging to the Gulick family will also be removed." [Note: if these dates are correct, it is unlikely that Jane was Zachariah's wife, because dying at age 94, in 1820, she would have been born in 1726.] |
