• 0 Hardy Manuel Log House. The Notre Dame Field School investigations received excellent press coverage but have concluded that this location was not used as a residential habitation during the Nineteenth Century and that the building must have been moved to the present location. This calls into question where the Manuel hoUQhown on the 1875 Atlas map was exactly located and whether this log house is in—fact that building. 5. Mr. Duvall reported .that there was once again an issue regarding the .residential subdivision of agricultural land which included an old family cemetery, in this case, the Price Family located near the corner of Peach and Crumstown Highway. The burial plot which contains' no visible headstones is proposed as an outlot, but the identified location may not be sufficiently precise and there is concern for the long—term maintenance of the outlot as the subdivision documents do not establish a homeowners association nor any commonly held features. The inference would be that the outlot would eventually revert to the county. Mr. Oxian indicated that the property might be vested to the Township Trustee and a marker placed by the Developer. 6. Mr. Duvall reported that the "Wenger Farmhouse", a Local Landmark located at 701 Pennsylvania had been raided by the police recently and 'subsequently vacated and sealed by Code Enforcement.
