Lobach Cemetery Latimore Township Adams County, PA
Inscriptions
There is wide variation in the condition of the headstones and the ease of reading them. Many of them would be illegible without the help of the data collected in 1934 by Beard et al. In the transcriptions below, questionable characters or lines are indicated by ---. Some of the th’s in ordinal dates were carved directly above their numerals; medial s’s (ƒ) on the oldest stones are represented here by regular s’s. All of the lettering is Roman, none is Gothic.
