Keep looking for any church he might have belonged to. It is possible he is buried in the church cemetery.

I looked in a Map Book of Lancaster County, PA that has an index of cemeteries with grid numbers to reference. I found these cemeteries located inside the jurisdiction of the Borough of Columbia: (1) Laurel Hill; (2) Mount Bethel; (3) Trinity.

Laurel Hill is next to Columbia High School on Ironville Pike. Mount Bethel is on Bethel St. Trinity is between 9th and Plane Streets.

I also noticed a few cemeteries that are outside of the Borough of Columbia, in West Hempfield Township.

North of the Borough line is Kinderhook cemetery, located in a village called Kinderhook. To the northwest, there is a designation for a cemetery in a village called Klinesville, but I cannot find any name associated with this in the index. Southeast of the Borough line, there is another cemetery designation on the map that does not have a name associated with it.

Even though these areas are part of West Hempfield Township and are outside of Columbia Borough jurisdiction, they still may use "Columbia, PA" as an address since they are very close to the Borough line.
