Honeyman Cemetery

Benjamin Honeyman purchased the SE ¼ of section 23 in Union Township from Hiram and Jane Curtis on 12 December 1832.  This farm is currently owned by Levi Nelson Booher Jr., a direct descendant of Benjamin Honeyman, and is located on the northwest corner of Kessler-Frederick Road at Shearer Road.  The cemetery is accessible from Shearer Road.  It should be noted that the Hunnaman markers were apparently the work of a German stonecutter who engraved the name as he heard it.  This Honeyman family originated in Scotland where they were beekeepers, migrated to England and later to Philadelphia, PA in the early 1700’s.  Also, the Goens name is incorrectly engraved and should read Goings.
