The WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY, off North Street in Mifflintown, was our favorite playground as children, particularly during sledding season. It is the resting place of local shero Nancy Kulp, "Miss Jane" of "The Beverly Hillbillies;" '60's kidnapper of Peggy Ann Bradnick, William Hollenbaugh; and my parents.

A quotation from Lincoln

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1863-11-19), “Dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg [Gettysburg Address],” Pennsylvania

#MuscogeeCreek remembered their ancestors dug up for a #casino, before oral arguments were heard before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia

The Ancestors Were Here

"Oral arguments in the Muscogee (#Creek) Nation, et al v. #PoarchBand of Creek Indians, et al. were heard today (Sept. 25) before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Ga. The appeal is for a suit filed against the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for building a casino resort on the site of Hickory Ground's sacred burial ground in #Wetumka, Alabama.

"#HickoryGround Ceremonial members marched to the courthouse this morning to sit in on the arguments and show their support.

"In a press conference immediately following, lawyer #MaryKathrynNagle (#Cherokee) thanked the court for accommodating the Nation and members of Hickory Ground. She explained it is now up to the three judges hearing the case to decide what happens next, a decision could take months to be handed down due to the complicated nature of the case. Mekko George Thompson described his as a 'monumental day'.

"Muscogee Creek Nation Principal Chief praised Nagle's efforts in the case and expounded on the importance of continuing to fight for #Mvskokvlke ancestors. 'It's been a long battle,' Chief Hill said. 'The things that are being done now are to prevent things that will happen in the future.'

"The Nation's next stop on their '#JourneyForJustice' is #OxfordAlabama."
