Directions: From intersection of Routes 45 and 144 at Old Fort, take Rt. 45 east.It is 14 miles. After Aaronsburg, cemetery on right side of road.

Overall Condition: Good

Notes: Gerbers reports a much larger number of stones.

Historical Status: Wonderful examples of sandstone markers roughly hand-carved. A good seriation in types of stones depicting changes in taste and material availability.

Preservation Recommendation: Active caretaker. The softness of sandstone however cannot be expected to last forever and good photo documentation in this case would be a plus.
