Historic Hanna's Town cemeteries: some history revealed, some buried forever

Madeline Irwin of Acme, with her two children, Luci (left) and Lula, 2, looks at the grave of Mary Stevenson, who died in 1813. She is the oldest known burial at the community cemetery at Historic Hanna’s Town in Hempfield. Other stone markers in the community cemetery are illegible.

To Madeline Irwin of Acme, the chance to take a cemetery tour Saturday afternoon at Historic Hanna’s Town in Hempfield was an opportunity she did not want to miss, even if it meant pushing her double stroller up hilly terrain through the woods.
