It is located on South Tulpehocken Street (State Route 443). A record of the cemetery was compiled in July of 1940 by Claude W Unger, and William H. Dietrich, who also translated the German transcriptions. Today many of the tombstones no longer exist or are so weather worn that you can not read them.
