* Mt. Tabor Cemetery is NOT in Mt. Holly Springs. It is in Menallen Township in Adams County, just over the county line from Dickinson Twp., Cumberland Co. The cemetery in Mt. Holly Springs is Mt. Holly Springs Union Cemetery, just off Rt. 34 in "downtown" Mt. Holly
Springs. For detailed information and directions to Mt. Tabor Cemetery, contact Gary Thomas at NICEG75008@aol.com. He is involved in the the upkeep of that cemetery and has, I believe, a plot plan. -- Anita Camples, anitacamplese@comcast.net , 25 Aug. 2002.

One way to help find the era your ancestor was buried is to examine the material from which the tombstone is made. If your ancestor has a stone made of slate or common fieldstone (except wood used by pioneers), chances are the stone dates from 1796-1830.
If the writing is too faded to read, use a 75 watt black light bulb in any lamp that casts light directly on the written message. The writing will miraculously appear.
