Summit Hill Presbyterian Cemetery
Photo taken around 1910
About 1972 the old Presbyterian Cemetery in Summit Hill was converted into a town park. It was a very old cemetery, and it had been left un-maintained for too long. Many of the stones had crumbled, it was over grown, and a problem with animals, including mice and rats taking up residence there, concerned the neighbors. Considering the cemetery was located within the borough, this problem was serious. Though in many ways this was a positive change, it is very sad that more attention wasn’t paid to preserving the records of this cemetery before the change. This isn’t the only case in Carbon Co. of a cemetery being lost for all time, loosing a record like this of those who went before is like a library of rare and unique books burning to the ground.
The following list is only a partial listing of those buried there. There are 156 names on this list, and a look at the old photo taken in the early part of the 1900s, shows there were far more than 156 graves. There is a supplemental listing at the bottom of war veterans buried in the cemetery.
Many thanks to Margaret Sides for the original transcription of this list from the old cemetery plot map. Thanks to Ann Duval for entering the info into the computer. Ted Dombroski of Co. K, 81st Penna. Volunteers supplied the list of war veterans buried in the cemetery, while credit for the photo goes to Lee Mantz.
