Netanel Arnold, lies here,

Additional information:
Son of Sandel Arnold and his wife, Babet (Kahn), of Mechanicsburg. The
family had immigrated from Jebenhausen, Germany, in 1839.
This is the earliest headstone, and Hirsh's burial may have been the
first on the property then still privately owned by his relatives,
Philip and Fannie Arnold, in Chambersburg.
The phonetic rendering of the place name, "Mechanicsburg", in the
Hebrew epitaph reflects the American pronounciation.
