At the heart of Fishtown is the final resting place of generations
of Kensington and Fishtown residents. Founded prior to 1748, Palmer
Cemetery is one of the oldest in Philadelphia. Interred here, and
in Hanover Street and West Street Burial Grounds are soldiers from
every war fought by colonists and then Americans, from the French
and Indian War until Desert Storm. The fishing families that built
the neighborhood, victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 and
the ancestors of the Shibe family are also buried in these plots.
Kenneth W. Milano walks the cemetery paths and reveals the secrets
the stones keep with Palmer Cemetery and the Historic Burial
Grounds of Kensington and Fishtown.
