The Lost Cemetery: Cedar Hill Cemetery, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
By 1820, Mechanicsburg's founding fathers including John Gosweiler and Henry Stouffer among others had laid out a number of town building lots, so it was not surprising that by this time there were 30 to 35 houses built in the town along with a public square. In 1828 the town's leaders moved to have the site incorporated as the Borough of Mechanicsburg in Cumberland County.
