William McIlvain is buried in Charles Evans cemetery in a mausoleum by the “witch’s hat” pavilion that’s in there 👍🏻

Thanks so much for making this. I requested it on your website some time back. Looove it. Who’s here from Antietam class 2005? :)

Been a long time but I believe that middle section is the original WRFY transmitter shack.

[@BerksNostalgia]

That's right!

>residents didnt like the name "neversink" We always figured that the name "neversink" was probably originally a native American word. Do you know it's origin?

[@BerksNostalgia]

It was called "navasink" by Native Americans. The word translates to "promontory", which is a high point of land that juts into a body of water or lowland

I'm so happy to find your videos!! I've been looking for history of this area, you are an amazing story teller. Thank you and looking forward to more!

Thanks! Glad to have you!

I was just at the pavilion last weekend, & there is a hole in the middle of the roof- I see in your video that there isn’t a hole. I wonder if it was vandalism instead of wear…

[@BerksNostalgia]

That's a real bummer to hear 🙁 hopefully the city patches it

Beautiful place! I'm sure they took that into consideration when they ran a bunch of power lines through there. A shame.
