President's Messoge:We are happy to report the Mansfield Cemetery

& Mansfield Catholic Cemetery books have been abig hit. Your response to the books has been very

encouraging. Your enthusiasm has broughtencouragement to all those who worked for sixyears to put the books together.

As we go into the new yeat,we are consideringother projects to publish. The Monroe Townshipcemetery book is in the final stages of preparation

for the printer. With the large number of cemeteriesand the time involved to prepare a book, it was

decided to publish the townships separately, exceptwhen a township has only a few cemeteries. Thenwe will combine townships.

We hope those who live in the area will be ableto attend our meetings this year. Natalie Williams,

our Vice President, has worked hard on this

challenging task of finding speakers.I would like to thank Maxine Smith for the

many hours of work she has provided for the

chapter this past year. Maxine responded to 72

letters from fellow researchers in 2001. Our thanksalso to LaDonna O'Neal for helping her on severaloccasions.

We are looking forward to 2002 and to servingour members and fellow genealogists. If you have

anything to share with the society please contact us.Nancy Hidinger, President

St. Peter's German Ghurch Records

The following births have been copied from the original St. Peter's German Church records. Located in Washingtontownship, the first church was built circa 1850. This building burned and another was built which was also destroyed by fire.The third building sti l l stands, but has an addition added to the front, changing the appearance to a more modern building.The church is now known as The Hil ltop Community Church.

The early records are written in German and difficult to read. The names of the sponsors for the baptisms are given

but due to the poor copy and small German handwriting we have not included them. The original copy does have a date forall the ptaces that contain a dash (-), but when they were photocopied the date was unfortunately lost in the crease of thebook. lf you would like a copy of any of the records, please write to the Society. Include a SAS and 50 cents to cover ourcost of the copy. The original records are held by a former minister's family.

NewspoperThe Lost of His Generation

Samuel Robinson, whose death occurred July 27tn,(1904), was the last of the generation of Robinsons whichcame from England and settled on the Big Hil l in Wellertwp.

Thomas Robinson came from England in the year 1820,and entered a tract of land on the Big Hil l. He was a manof wealth, and his views differed widely from the averagepioneer. He was aristocratic in his ways, adhered to the oldEnglish style of dress, wearing knee-breeches and wascalled "King Tom." He kept from ten to fifteen men in hisemploy the year round, paying them in gold.

Thomas Robinson was a widow when he came toAmerica, but after clearing his land he returned to Englandto marry again. He was gone seven years, and upon hisreturn he was accompanied by a wife, and a boy, agedabout 4 or 5 years, who was Samuel whose funeraloccurred from Oakland church Friday of last week.

In 1836, Robinson bui l t a large br ick bui ld ing forresidence which because of it style and the aristocraticmanners of it 's owner was called the "castle." Beneath thebuilding were cellars with arched ceil ings of stone work.About two years after it was built a wind storm wreckedpart of the building, Samuel being then a boy of sevenyears of age, was taken from the debris after the stormabated.

Thomas Robinson's wife died after having been hereabout eight years, and he returned to England, where hedied a few years later.

Francis Robinson, younger brother of Thomas, came toAmerica a few years after his brother had located on thehil l. Francis married "Aunt Jane" Dickson. They were theparents of two children, Will iam and James S.

Will iam became the owner of the Thomas Robinsonfarm, where he passed the greater part of his l i fe. Theother son was the late Gen. James S. Robinson, whoserved with honor through the civil war, and as a memberof congress and as secretary of state.

The late Samuel Robinson was industrious, a hardworker, and an exemplary cit izen, accumulating muchproperty. He added farm to farm until he had one each forhis five children. He was better known, perhaps, as anauctioneer. About six years ago, he built a fine residenceon what was formerly known as the Hetler farm, on theOlivesburg road, f ive miles north of Mansfield.

Hooded GrovesGraves with hoods on them....have you ever heard of such a thing?According to an art ic le in the Spr ing 2001 lssue, Vol .21,#3 of the BerksCounty, PA Genealogical Society, there are two such graves in the MountZion Methodist Cemetery, a small cemetery located in Franklin Township,Columbia County, PA. According to the article there were at one time threeof these graves with wrought iron hoods, or "cages," above them, placed inthe cemetery in the year 1852 when three young women died within sixweeks of each other, cause of death is unknown.In the 1930's, WPA (Works Progress Administration) workers, sponsoredby the federal government, cleaned and restored the cemetery. One of the

, hoods had deteriorated so badly it had to be discarded, but the other two1-'- were refurbished and reset. Workers found under them metal castings

l(-ot doves, which they replaced. The doves are located on the ends of thehooded graves with wings spread, signifying the fl ight of souls. After

restoration, the graves were rededicated November 13, 1999.The tombstones read thus: Sarah Ann, consort of Ranslow Boone, daughter of Floyd and Frances Thomas, died June

18, 1852, aged 22years,6 months, 9 days. Anseth 8., consort of John F. Thomas, died June 26,1852, aged 20 years, 8months, 22 days.

The writeiof the article inquired as to the meaning of the hooded grave. Speculation ranged from preventing jewelry

from being stolen thatwas buried with the bodies, keeping animalsfrom digging up the graves, to preventing body snatchers

from stealing the bodies. Do you have an ideas? Have you ever seen a Hooded grave, if so where? [Source: material
