Steigerwalts Church of God

Steigerwalts Church of God is located on Pennsylvania Rt. 443 between Orwigsburg and McKeansburg. The cemetery is found at the end of a dirt road which runs up a hill to the left of the Church building. It is a small plot of land located between the corn fields and if you are a Daniel Paul descendant you feel as though you have found your family cemetery. Below you will find pictures, as well as inscriptions, of some of the tombstones found at this cemetery. I have also included my own note as to known or suspected (?) family relationships. Please browse with reverence and thanksgiving for the of lives of those who have passed this way before us.
