Additional Comments:
Researchers Note:  There is a funeral card at CCHS “Isaac Hill, Private 4th 
Reg’t P.V.R.C, Grove.  “Grove” is a section in West Whiteland Township.  These 
cards were printed by the G.A.R, so they knew what cemetery the veteran was 
buried.  Isaac B. Hill is buried in Grove Methodist Church.  Tombstone image 
available.
