Editor’s comment: wish I had been smart enough to do this analysis in 1997 (Frank McAninch)

"Only seven of nine" seen in this survey. The Tombstone Hoppin’ 1981 book (TH’1981) and

the (Arthur) Leroy McAninch and Harold S. McAninch survey (HSM'1994) both list the same

nine McAninchs buried in the McAninch Farm Cemetery. However, only seven of these graves

were reported on Blanche Blizzard’s 1995 cemetery survey. Stones of two graves are not shown

on Blanche’s "March 1995" survey drawing (although either one could be the "Unknown" grave).

The two burials not reported on the "March 1995" drawing are

Elijah McAninch ("Elijah" in TH'1981-2of9) ("Elijah" in HSM'1994-E.7.), and

Sarah McAninch ("Sarah C." in TH'1981-7of9) ("Sarah" in HSM'1994-S.2.).

TOTM’2001,2006 ("Tombstone of the Month"online)

"H.H. McAninch" was featured as "Tombstone of the Month" in 2001: "H. H. McAninch was

an early settler of Beaver Township, Jefferson County, having come from Dauphin County, PA.

He settled on land near Ohl and established a home for his family. Shortly thereafter he was

joined by his brother, William McAninch and his family, who moved to Jefferson County from

Armstrong County. H. H. McAninch died May 15, 1875, aged 56 years, 1 month, and 5 days, and

is buried in the family grave yard on the McAninch homestead in Beaver Township". [Note 5]
