LOCATION: East
Prospect, Lower Windsor Twp., 395819N, 0763112W Go to
Canadochly Church, continue into East Prospect. You will encounter the stop
sign at the "square" of town. At that stop sign, take a left.
The cemetery is up the street about 2 blocks on the right. There will be a
sharp left in the road, if you miss it. The cemetery is on that bend in the
road. I believe they have built new homes around the cemetery. |

Saint Luke's Cemetery

LOCATION: New
Bridgeville, Chanceford Twp., 395445N, 0762919W FROM
EAST PROSPECT: To go to St. Luke’s, you make a right at the stop sign in East
Prospect. Continue on that road. You will end up in a town called Craley. At
the flashing red light, go straight through. This will be New Bridgeville
Road. Continue on this road until you
come to Burkholder Road, a few miles. There you want to make a left. You
should pass the volunteer fire company on the left, once you make the left.
The cemetery in a couple of miles on the left. There should be a church with
it, if memory serves me right. FROM RED LION: take 74 east, turn left on
Burkholder Road. |
