Cokesbury Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1837 as Saint George's Methodist Episcopal Church. When the Sun Oil Company bought the old burial lot, located next to the Spransy property at the southeasterly corner of Second Street and the now-vacated Larkin Avenue in 1915, they removed the former small cemetery from the site to Lawn Croft Cemetery.




Later, Flat, two flat marble gravestones from the cemetery were found upon construction for a sidewalk on the south side of Second Street, west of Green Street, in Marcus Hook Borough, Wednesday, August 30, 1933. The lunch room tenant in the former stable of Heritage-Spransy stated it had been dug up south of the lunch room and laid in the sidewalk area prior to this time. There were two pieces of marble, the other one blank.
