Marker Dedication at Stroh’s Cemetery with Harrisburg, NSDAR

The Harrisburg Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution held a marker dedication ceremony for two Pennsylvania Revolutionary War Patriots at Stroh’s Cemetery in Lower Paxton on April 12th, 2025. Stroh’s Cemetery is located on the Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area, 401 Fishing Creek Valley Rd, Harrisburg, PA 17112. Members of the Washingtonburg Chapter SAR, including compatriot John Guinan, were in attendance.

The Harris Ferry Chapter SAR has a significant link to this cemetery, as Past President and Compatriot Oscar H. Stroh is buried here.  Mr. Stroh was instrumental in compiling, detailing, and publishing countless records on Dauphin Country Revolutionary War Patriots.

Following the DAR’s ceremony, Harris Ferry will conduct its own Patriot and Compatriot Grave Marking Ceremony for Patriots George Stroh, Christian Stucky, and Compatriot Oscar H. Stroh.  The ceremony will be slightly condensed, since the DAR will have handled the majority of the rituals.
