Thanks to all those who helped with the cleanup at the Albright-Bennett Cemetery - Bill Brennan, Roy Richmond, Bob Lederer, Clint Roach, Diana & Jim Holmes, Jeanne Brown, Alden & Sam Jackson, and organizer Ruth Altemier. Thanks, too, to Dreher Township for taking away the pruned branches and for bringing material to fill a sizeable hole developing near one of the graves.  Cemetery Committee Chair Ruth Altemier has prepared a pamphlet which gives directions and a map to the local area cemeteries as well as a brief history of our cemeteries.  Our local cemeteries are one of our most important links to our past. To assist in cemetery maintenance, please contact us.
