Is the Historic, and beautiful West Hill Manor Haunted by the Ghosts of its past? Located in Burlington, New Jersey, West Hill Manor was built between 1797 and 1799 by Samuel and Susanna Emlen, both from prominent Quaker families.
In 1814, Susanna Emlen developed breast cancer and underwent surgery in her bedroom of the West Hill Manor. At the time - before the discovery of anesthesia - many of the women who underwent the procedure died on the table. Susanna recorded her experiences in letters to her family and friends that exist to this day.
Susanna became one of the earliest breast cancer surgery survivors in the United States.
In 1851, the home was purchased by Eliza Gurney, an avid abolitionist and social reformer. The Quaker minister visited President Lincoln in 1862 to assure him of the support of Quakers in his leadership of the Civil War and asked Eliza to corresponded with the President. Her first letter was found in his jacket pocket upon his death.
