Pannebaker - Pennebaker Family Cemetery |
||||
Address: Hancock Lane Honey Grove, PA Website: Directions: From Mifflintown square, head east on SR 3002 [old Rte. 22]. At the blinking traffic light turn right onto Rt. 75 south driving through Port Royal and on to the village of Honey Grove, a total distance of 15 miles. Turn right on to Rt. 850 at Honey Grove and drive .4 miles to TR 309 [Burnt Church Rd.] This road is unpaved. Drive 1.0 miles to the farm lane on the right, “Hancock Lane”. Turn right down the lane. The position of the cemetery was on the right hand side, approximately .4 miles down the lane in the pasture. History: “. . . William Pannebaker [a name often spelled Pennypacker], whose son Samuel resides on it.” “On this place there is an old grave-yard, in which one James Lippencott was buried in 1797. In later years a number of the Pannebaker family have been interred here.” [1] The stones markers have been removed from their bases and are stacked in the in the field along the side of the lane. To help further identify the location of the cemetery, look for two utility poles marked Penn Edison Co. These poles are in the pasture and the numbers cannot be seen from the lane. In 1971, when the cemetery was described, the following was noted: “Two utility poles marked Penn Edison Co help to pinpoint the cemetery. From the pole numbered #9-7034, 60 + or – yards measured north will establish the south end of the burial plot, and 33 + or – yards measured south from the pole #9-7035 will establish the north end of the plot. The cemetery is approximately 30’ x 80’ in width and length and lies close to the edge of the bank along the lane. There were three rows of graves at one time, and a conservative estimate would place the number of burials at fifteen to twenty. The cemetery was part of the farmstead which was named “Belmore Plantation.” [2] [1] History Of That Part OF The Susquehanna And Juniata Valleys Embraced In The Counties of Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Union And Snyder In The Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, Volume I, Everts, Peck & Richards, Philadelphia, 1886, pg. 743 [2] Pennebaker Family Cemetery File |
