Hometown History: A Hill to Die on
A Hill to Die on: How we bury our loved ones – and the unloved
In S1, E4, Jamie Kinsley (left) and Dominish Miller (right) discuss how we bury our loved ones - and the unloved. Three cemeteries sit atop a hill north of York. As you head north, you find that those laid to rest in Prospect Hill, York City and Lebanon cemeteries range from York area residents who could pay for burial, to those who were segregated by class and then those who were separated by race. In the latter two, abandoned and unmarked graves were common. At Lebanon, work is underway to find and mark burial sites. Will Friends Burial Grounds in Newberrytown, a Quaker cemetery, be next?
