East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Vanderbilt PA


Help Us Solve a Mystery

Help Us Solve a Mystery!

While researching this site, we discovered that the church's records for the graveyard had been lost.  After asking around, long-time members of the church recalled this story:

C.C. Collins formerly owned the lumber yard in Vanderbilt.  Mr. Collins was secretary for the Dickerson Run Cemetery Board and had all information about people buried there, etc. in the company's safe.  He was also a member of East Liberty Presbyterian Church and presumably had the cemetery information for the church cemetery in the safe, too. 

The safe was stolen from the office of the lumber mill one night and the contents were never returned.  According to people who recall the evening, it was a quiet moon lit night and yet no one heard a noise! 

If anyone reading these pages should come across any old church records from East Liberty (or Cumberland) Presbyterian Church of Vanderbilt at local garage sales, flea markets, or buried in an old attic somewhere (or if you find the old mill safe!) please let us know!
