Laurel Hill is a cemetery in Philadelphia. This is a continuation of a Road Trip that started in my Running the Blockade blog with Richard Binder, USMC, who received a Medal of Honor for action at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher during the Civil War. He is buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery which is a part of Laurel Hill Cemetery.
There are several War of 1812 notables buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery.
DAVID CONNER (1792-1856)-- Naval officer in War of 1812 and Mexican War. Served on the USS Hornet.
ISAAC HULL (1773-1843)-- Commanded USS Constitution in its battle with the HMS Guerriere.
ELIE AUGUSTUS F. LA VALLETTE (1790-1862)-- War of 1812 American officer at Battle of Lake Champlain. Also served in Mexican War.
