OLDEST
CEMETERY IN THE STATE
Numidia, Columbia County, has an old cemetery, which
will become an object of interest when the soldiers’ graves are decorated on
May 30. The cemetery is one of the oldest in that section of state. Bodies were
interred there way back in 1770. Numerous slabs which were placed there 118
years ago still stand, and the inscriptions are very interesting. A number of
Shamokinites are buried in this cemetery.
