Local Attorney Andrew Warhola, a Civil
War scholar, looks over one of the most unusual grave
markers he's found in any area cemetery. This stone reads,
"Andrew Whittier, served under and was a friend of Gen.
George Washington, Revolutionary War, Born 1716 Germany (The
Oldest Man), Died 1840 Age 124 Years, Husband of Mary
Mackay." The stone is in the old Brick Church Cemetery on
Brick Church Road near the Cambridge Airport. The original
stone is behind a newer one at the site. Warhola said he has
visited about half of the 60 cemeteries in Guernsey County
checking on history, people and dates.
