CHRISTIAN CHURCH BURYING GROUND
West Springfield, Erie Co, PA

The Christian Church at East Springfield, Erie Co, PA, was organized with twelve 
members in 1826 by Rev. Asa C Morrison and Rev Joseph Marsh.  The church building 
was built in 1839.
                (Miller, Vol. 1, pg. 526)
When the building of the Christian Church in West Springfield was torn down, these 
stones were in the churchyard and were removed to the East Springfield Cemetery and 
placed in a row on the north side.  The present township school stands on the site of the 
church on the west side of route 6N.  It is a High School.
