"Mann Township, established in 1876 from Southampton Township, which now borders it to the West, is home to Artemas, Inglesmith, Purcell, Silver Mills, the Buchanan State Forest, and Pennsylvania State Game Lands. It covers just over 35 square miles and is also bordered by Monroe Township on the North; Fulton County, Pennsylvania on the East; and Allegany County, Maryland to the South. Mann is located in the southeastern most corner of Bedford County. Stroll through Bennett, Bethel Christian, Conrad Farm, Fairview, Gideon Smith Farm, Greenfield, Johnson, Lashley, Mueller/Miller, Morse Farm, Perrin, and Purcell Field Cemeteries and remember those who came before us and the Veterans who we honor for their courage and patriotism"--Adapted from back cover.

"Upper Claar Cemetery at the Upper Claar Church of the Brethren on the Upper Claar Road located in the area known as Klahr being that part of Kimmel Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. These inscriptions were recorded in order, row by row, and updated in the Fall of 1996" -- P. 1.

From Back Cover: Southampton Township formed in 1799 is nestled in the southern-most part of Bedford County. It occupies just over 80 square miles and is the home to over 25 Cemeteries. After a search through more than 100,000 records, these are some of the unknown and unmarked graves of the men, women, children and infants that will never be forgotten. Note from Author: After searching through more than 100,000 online and printed records, including death certificates, obituaries, newspaper articles, etc., I stumbled upon the individuals listed throughout this book. These individuals are most likely buried in a grave with no marker or stone. They may also be buried with only a stone and no inscription. Some may also be buried with a stone or marker that only includes initials. As always, with this volume of information there is always room for error and I sincerely apologize to the families. Please contact me with corrections or additions so I can make corrections for future reprints. I spent a great deal of time sorting through records and I hope that you'll find a long lost relative, a mystery may be solved and you'll be able to add another member to your family tree!
