Summary:

"The first Nicholas Helfenstein (later Helverson) in this country was the first undertaker in the family. His two sons, William and Horatio, continued together in the undertaking business until Horatio started his own establishment. The funeral records were given to The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania by descendants of the family. They have been organized into 9 volumes of burial records beginning in 1841, 3 volumes of lot books (some for the Union Harmony Cemetery 1828-1915 and Hanover Burial Ground 1840-1900) and 3 volumes of Account Books of miscellaneous dates."--From v.1 [p.i]
