MIDDLESEX, Pa. (AP) — It’s a curious sight to come upon while walking the Appalachian Trail in Cumberland County: a tiny, ancient cemetery, nearly consumed by trees, brush and earth. Many a hiker has surely stepped inside the pitted iron fence and lichen-encrusted stone wall and wondered. Local historians know its name and tell of a related mystery: somewhere nearby is a cemetery for slaves who once lived on the property.
