Zimmerman Cemetery

Mahoning, Carbon, Pennsylvania

History of Zimmerman Cemetery.

Was originally the graveyard for an Evangelical Methodist Church.

      [Church is shown on 1875 plat map of Mahoning Township (NOTE: large file

            download). It’s the “Evan. Meth. Ch.” highlighted in yellow; left center on map.]

Church building no longer exists. [NOTE: I also don’t know the name of the church yet.]

[From the Eckhart County History(K), page 236: “In 1861, the Evangelical Church was

      erected between the St. John’s Union Church and New Mahoning. The Rev. Owen

      Leopold served the early congregation. Later, this was the location of the Zimmerman

      Cemetery.”]

[NOTES:   The cemetery is well maintained (strictly voluntarily) by the family that lives

                        next door [see below], but I’m not sure if they want to be listed as the

                        “contact” or not.]

                  If you visit the cemetery, and if you have an ancestor buried there, a small

                        donation toward gas and expenses might be appropriate. But be discreet;

                        they haven’t asked for donations as far as I know.]
