About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The graveyard is on the farm at 1523 Newville Road, Plainfield, PA.

500 yards behind the barn to the north/east corner of the farm.

In 1905, Jeremiah Zeamer of Carlisle, PA, visited the Bitner Farm Graveyard. He listed only three people as being buried here: Christiana Myers, Abraham Myers & M. Anna Baker Myers. Here are his notes:

"I visited this burying place on the afternoon of Sep. 23, 1905, in company with Francis Bear. It is on the northern end of the farm enclosed by a post fence which is old but quite strong. Besides the ones here given it at one time contained the remains of other persons but apparently they were taken up & removed to other places of internment. Within the enclosure bushes have grown to the size of small trees but briars and other undergrowth are not plentiful. The inscriptions on the two red sand headstones that remain are quite distinct."
