Another Pioneer Gone.

George Ankney, an old pioneer of this county and a gentleman who was greatly esteemed by his fellow man, died at his home on Stoncreek, near this city, on Friday, Nov. 10th, 1893, aged 88 years, 9 months and three days. Mr. Ankney was born 7 Feb 1805 in Somerset Co. Pa. and emigrated with his parents to York township, this county, to the farm on which he died, in 1815. A son and four daughters are left to mourn. His wife preceded him fourteen years ago. Deceased also leaves thirty grandchildren and fifty-eight great grandchildren. Funeral was held on Sunday afternoon and was very largely attended by friends and aquaintances. Revs. J. B. Rust and Kozower officiated at the obsequies. Peace to his ashes.


Below is a 1994 Topographical map of the location of the Jerusalem Cemetery, in the northern part of York Township, just southwest of the city of New Philadelphia. The cemetery is on flat ground, between County Road 21 and Interstate Highway 77.

    Enlarging the tombstone image appears to show a death date of: NOV 10, 1898! The burial book index shows: 1899. Anyone have better eyes!?
