Newburg-Hopewell War Memorial

• Newburg-Hopewell WWII Memorial The Newburg-Hopewell World War II memorial, located in the borough of Newburg and Hopewell Township, in Cumberland County, was erected in 1948 by Robert S. Shull Cemetery Memorials. The two outside panels contain the names of 53 WWII veterans. Three of these came from Newburg-Hopewell whose names are: Theron Hensel, David Palmer, and Franklin Wheeler. They can be found on the monument in the lower center under the granite eternal flame. There is an inscription on the monument which reads, "These died that liberty may not perish." The local WW 2 veterans went out and raised the money for this project themselves and donations from private citizens.
