Comments
Caretaker is Larry Strawn 215-257-2797. The church housed two congregations each with their own front entrance. St. Peters Reformed Congregation entered the left hand door and eventually became St. Peters UCC. Peace Evangelical Lutheran Congregation entered through the right hand door and eventually built their own chuch. A letter in the Loux Family Folder at the Mercer Library shows that 6 of their 13 children, the ones living at home in 1862, died within 9 weeks of each other of diapetheria.


Thanks to volunteer Noel Hevener for gathering information on this cemetery
