History

Established in 1874, the cemetery received its name from its location. Straddling the border between the borough of Penbrook, formerly known as East Harrisburg, and Susquehanna Township,[1] the cemetery's operations were administered in 1875 by David Mumma (president) and Samuel Landis (secretary-treasurer). Lots sold from "10 to 25 [each], according to location" in 1875.[2]

As of 2019, the cemetery remained in active use.[1]
