John Burgess According to Ruth & Twila Hesse: This cemetery is what I will call the John "Jack" Burgess cemetery . It is located about 1/2 mile from Rt 42 on the Jordan Run Road. Turn to the right just before the Weimer farm. Go 1/4 mile on the old Sampson Smith Farm(Hesse Property). This is a very old cemetery. According to the late Woodrow Burgess his great-grandfather "Jack" Burgess was buried in this cemetery. There are only a few field stones left. Some of the graves may be those of slaves. The cemetery is not fenced and ground hogs have torn up the ground. _______________________________________________________________________ |
