THE OLD (UNION) CANADOCHLY CEMETERY It will be an item of historic interest to have preserved the record of the tombstones in this old cemetery. These are the ancestors of the people in Canadochly Valley, and many of them reach back over two hundred years. We have begun to enumerate them at the western end, next to the Lutheran Church, using the Roman numerals to indicate the rows, and the Arabic numerals to indicate the graves, beginning at the York road. It must be remembered that the graves do not run in regular rows one after another. So we grouped them where we could in the rows; and those outside of these courses, we group in some other way, as for instance, around the spruce tree. We have tried to keep as near the original in our record, as possible: I 1. Jacob Young, born, March 11, 1809; died October 1, 1838; aged 29 yrs. 6 mos. & 21 Ds. 2.

But these are later than the Colonial period and therefore we will not record them. We will, however, note the fact that an Evangelical minister is buried under the cedar trees. His name is inscribed as follows: Rev. George Dellinger, died June 29, 1878; aged 66 yrs. 9 m. & 13 D. This inscription also appears: Erected as a token by the members of York Circuit. The Church of his choice. Peace to his ashes. b. PLEASANT MOUNT CEMETERY The land of the New Canadochly Cemetery was given to Canadochly (Union) Church by Samuel Leber and his wife Lydia, "for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar." This tract contained "two acres and seventy-five perches neat measure." The deed for this tract was sealed and dated, October 24, 1857, and was recorded in the Court House in Book C C C C, page 88. It was conveyed to Adam Paules, Henry Ruby, John Bentz, Peter Keller, Samuel Lieberknecht, John E. Beard, John Keller and Henry Leber, trustees of the Canadochly Church. Samuel Leber was to receive one-half the proceeds of each lot sold. After his death his heirs generously gave up their share in these rights to the Church. The Justice of the Peace who executed the deed was Thomas Ramsay. A second parcel of ground was sold by Samuel Leber for the new cemetery, consisting on "47 1/2 perches of land, neat measure," for the sum of five dollars. This deed was executed May 11, 1867. The trustees, at that time, were the same as in 1857, with the exception of Henry Leber, who had died. The Justice of the Peace was Samuel Gilbert. John E. Beard was given the power of attorney, by the trustees. This was done so that all of the trustees did not need to sign the papers necessary for the sale of lots. This arrangement continued until July 15, 1885, when only three of the original trustees, John Bentz, John Keller and John E. Beard, survived. At that time John E. Beard transferred his power of attorney to the "trustees and elders of said Canadochly Church", and gave to them the deed for the original tract of "two acres and seventy-five perches, neat measure." These papers are now all in the hands of the Canadochly Cemetery Association. This "New" Cemetery was known as "Pleasant Mount Cemetery." It was planned and laid out by D. M. Ettinger in 1857. The original draft is still in the hands of the superintendent of the Canadochly Cemetery Association, Ottis S. Paules. This cemetery was laid out in two large circular plots; Kreutz Creek Cemetery in the old section was planned also by D. M. Ettinger, in 1859 in the same way, having only one circular plot. The pine trees mark the center of one of these circles of graves. c. CANADOCHLY REFORMED CEMETERY ASSOCIATION This Association applied to the Court of York County for its charter and had its application filed, September 23, 1912. It was incorporated October 21, 1912 (See Book 18 K, page 394). The Association purchased a tract of land from Henry Blessing and his wife, Cecilia, containing 111 1/5 perches, in consideration of $158.75. This deed was executed August 17, 1909. A second tract was purchased from William H. Leber and his wife, Mary A. Leber, containing three acres, in consideration of $1,000. This deed was executed July 27, 1916. By resolution of the Wanner Memorial Sunday School of Canadochly, passed June 16, 1914, the Association came into possession, in consideration of one dollar of 35.4 perches of land. d. CANADOCHLY CEMETERY ASSOCIATION By 1920 there was a movement to unite all the cemeteries under one management and that outside of the church organizations, excepting through membership in the new board of managers which was to be definitely preserved. This was done by the provision of the By-Laws, in Article II, which says: "The business of this corporation shall be managed and conducted by a Board of six Directors, who shall be members of this corporation, of whom two shall be members of the Canadochly Reformed Church and two members of the Canadochly Lutheran Church." The first step was an amendment to the constitution of the Reformed Cemetery Association, which was done at a meeting of the Reformed congregation, November 15, 1920, when the word "Reformed" was stricken out. This amendment was filed, January 3, 1921, and approved by the Court, January 31, 1921. The Canadochly Cemetery Association was organized May 7, 1921, by electing the following officers: President, Harrison Fauth; Vice-President, Clarence E. Leber; Secretary, J. Kurvin Leber; Treasurer, Harry P. Keller. At this meeting, Ottis S. Paules was elected Superintendent of the Cemetery; lots were to be sold at 20 cents per square foot and two dollars extra for corner lots. The new association received, June 3, 1921, from the Canadochly Reformed Cemetery Association, $82.02, as a general fund, and $79.84 as a permanent fund. Money was collected from the friends of the Churches and by August 6, 1921, the Association purchased $5,000 of United States Treasury Certificates. The General Fund now amounts to $219.44; the Permanent Fund to $6,618.08. The Trustees of the Canadochly Reformed Association, George E. Leber and Peter M. Fake, May 21, 1921, upon the instruction of the Canadochly Reformed Church, deeded their holdings, to the Canadochly Cemetery Association, in consideration of one dollar. To complete the transaction a meeting of the "Canadochly Church" (the Union Church) was necessary. A seal had to be adopted in order to be used in the transfer. This was done, November 23, 1921, by the adoption of two concentric circles containing the inscription, "Canadochly Church" between the circles and "Incorporated, May 20, 1838," in the center. A second meeting of the officers representing the Union Church was held in Canadochly Reformed Church, May 27, 1922, when they formally transferred the "Union Cemetery" and "Mount Pleasant Cemetery" to the new "Canadochly Cemetery Association," in accordance with the following resolution, adopted by the Reformed Church and Lutheran Congregation. "Resolved, That the corporation known as "Canadochly Church" and incorporated on the 28th day of May, 1838, composed of four elders and two church wardens of the Lutheran congregation and four elders and two church wardens of the Reformed congregation, hereby consent to the conveyance of the old cemetery commonly known as the "Union Cemetery," situate on the northeast corner formed by the intersection of the road leading from York to East Prospect and that leading from said last mentioned road to Wrightsville; and the cemetery situate on the north and west of the church located at the northwest corner formed by the intersection of said two roads, commonly known as "Mount Pleasant Cemetery," to the corporation known as "Canadochly Cemetery Association." Be it further Resolved, That the proper officers of this corporation be and are hereby authorized and instructed to have prepared a proper deed conveying the said cemeteries to the said Conadochly Cemetery Association, and to execute said deed of conveyance and attach the seal of this corporation thereto."
