     Lying just out of sight from the busy streets and shopping centers of State College, is a small family cemetery. Though quaint and humble, one resident of this cemetery, along with his descendants, helped to make Centre County what it is today. His name was General Philip Benner.

The plaque commemorating the eight men who perished
fighting the Pepper Hill Fire.

Situated along scenic Route 120 in Cameron County, sets a quaint roadside memorial. Here, the tragic story of eight men and their sacrifice came to a close. To find the beginning, one must look upon the steep rocky slopes of a terrain feature with a peculiar name, Pepper Hill.
