St Paul’s Indianland Church, Cherryville,

Northampton County, PA

Tombstone of Solomon Dreisbach

St. Paul's Cemetery was also known as the Indian Land Yard or Indianland Cemetery. It is located in Lehigh Township, Northampton County-- just off of Rt 248, west of Cherryville. The property dates from the middle of the 18th century, and as is generally the case in older cemeteries, a number of the oldest stones have lost their inscriptions, records are from 1756 to Aug. 20, 1888 inclusive. St. Paul’s was a union church with both Reformed and Lutheran congregations, but was generally thought of as a Lutheran Church, while Zion Stone Church was predominantly Reformed. The two are only a few miles apart and served the same community. Most Dreisbachs belonged to the Reformed Congregation and there are only a few known Dreisbachs in this cemetery, all descendants of Simon Dreisbach Sr. :
