These records found their way to the state library in Harrisburg, and in 1960 they were transcribed from \"brittle, crumbling pages\" by Helen I. Harmon. The five copies of that transcript are now in libraries in Pennsylvania. This reworking of the compilation contains 8,987 inscriptions, mostly from the nineteenth century. Inscriptions have been collected from seventy-three cemeteries, located in twelve townships and two boroughs. Every name mentioned in the inscriptions, including relatives of the deceased, is included in the text, and in the indices. Inscriptions are arranged in tables, by cemetery, and by family names within each cemetery. Records contain surname, given name, birth and death dates, and attained age, as well as any extra details provided in the inscription, such as places of birth or death, cause of death, military rank or accomplishments, occupation, relatives, or place of residence. Occasionally, a description of the tombstone itself is included. Accompanying each table is a collection of information about that cemetery, and the people and institutions connected to it. A section at the rear of the book is a chronological narrative, a combined itinerary and journal, of Jeremiah Zeamer's long-ago travels throughout Cumberland County, as he recorded gravestone inscriptions.

First, it provides a genealogy as complete as it has been possible to compile with the material [the author] has been able to uncover. It also attempts to gather together such documents as are available concerning the life of the early generations of the McElwain family in this country, and to link these together with a narrative. Finally, it endeavors to set forth how some genealogical and historical conclusions were reached and to suggest to future family historians research which might prove fruitful and problems which might arise.\" This new work consists of two parts, a history and a genealogy, separately organized and indexed, but consecutively paged. History presents the early history of the McElwain family, giving overviews of the lives of early family members and members of certain related families (such as Nicholson, Bell, Zanhiser, Thompson, McCracken, Shannon and McIlvaine), and then provides material on the land where they lived and the institutions which they knew. This section is more of a narrative than a listing of data. Genealogy presents a large volume of data organized by family, beginning with the parents and a serial number (which is often keyed to references in the historical section) and then lists all of their children. For each individual, wherever possible, information is given concerning birth, marriage(s) and death (typically date and location). The book has two indices: for History, there is a full name and subject index including about 500 entries, and for Genealogy, there is a full name index including about 5,000 entries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilbur J.

To carry out the taxation program, every structure, lot, and tract in the country had to be accounted for in tax listings, in which each was described and given an assessed value. The result was a housing inventory so complete that it has not been surpassed to this day. This book is a compilation of these tax lists for the area of present-day Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Over 2,000 county properties are listed herein, and approximately 5,000 separate structures are described in these records. An appendix includes reproductions of original tax list forms and related documents, and separate indexes are provided for property owners and for occupants other than owners. Information in the tax lists includes the type of structure, its dimensions, construction material, number of stories, number of windows and window panes, lot size, farm acreage, location, names of adjoining owners and value. Occasionally additional information on the fertility of the land, the state of repair of structures, and other matters appears in comments by the assessors. The nature of the structures (milk house, wheelwright shop, grist mill, still house, and so forth) can provide information on the occupations of avocations of their owners, and it is also sometimes possible to reconstruct a neighborhood by comparing the names of adjoining owners.
