✣ St. Paul's UCC Trexlertown ✣
I visited this graveyard on a chilly day in February 2019. The ground was rather icy, so I did not get to investigate as much as I would have liked. Several willows can be found here, and there are also a number of stones featuring floral imagery. While the first building was erected in 1874 and the current structure dates from 1925, the congregation began meeting in the Trexlertown area beginning in 1740 (St. Paul's UCC Trexlertown). I believe the earliest headstone I photographed dates from the early 1860s though. ➺ 1: John Seipel (1810-1844)
