Tombstone Photo Transcriptions
Cemetery: Zundel Burial Ground - (complete survey - 2009)
          Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County, PA

     Directions to site:  From Route 119 South, take Route 31 Exit.  Turn 
left onto Route 31, and go into Mount Pleasant.   Route 31 turns into Main 
Street.  After 2nd red light, go another 2 blocks, and turn right onto South 
Quarry Street.  Follow South Quarry down hill, and past Bruce's Carpeting on 
the left.  Just before the end of South Quarry is a country road on the left.  
Turn left, and go to top of hill about 300 yards.  On the left, you will see 
the grove of trees in the middle of an open field.
     
     The correct name for this burial ground is unknown at this time.  The 
site was brought to my attention by Nancy Garsteck, who did not know the 
name of the burial ground, but said the surrounding area had been farmed, 
and this one small patch was set aside, and was rumored to have been a 
burial ground.  An internet search of genealogy sites revealed that there 
was an original tombstone for Johan Michael Zundel, and the inscription 
read:

Her ruhet Johan Michael Zundel.
Er ward geboren den 25ten Julius 1757
und starden 14ten August 1844.
Sein ganzes Alter war 87 Yahren
und 19 tagen.
Selig sind die reis herzens sind,
denn sie werden Gott schauen.
