Abraham was a son of Elias and Barbara (Huss) Harnish. He was the brother of: George Allen, Mary A., Jacob R., Theadore, Emma, Judith Jane, John, Isaac Emery and Clara.

Some information about Puderbaugh Cemetery.
A man that owned the farm on which Puderbaugh Cemetery is located, decided one day that he was going to plow and plant his crops in the cemetery itself. So he pulled out all the markers and lined them up against the fence line. When townsfolk heard about this they made him put them all back. He put back some of them where they once stood, the other he put in small stacks here and there.
Most of the markers have now since been buried and the cemetery is very overgrown with thorn bushes and tiger lilies, so much so you can hardly even walk through the area.
It would be advised to go there in the spring or fall months, so you have some chance to spot a marker. It is to overgrown in the summer and snow would made it almost impossible to see any of the markers, since most of them are now laying down.

Please note that the stones in the photographs are NOT of the Harnish's. They are just to show the condition of the cemetery. I have yet to find the Harnish stones and I am planning to make another trip to Puderbaugh this fall.

FOUND!!!!
