According to the Early History of St. Paul's (Summer Hill), et al, by Schuylkill Roots, the earliest dated burials are from 1790 and 1791. These are dates on field stones with initials. Early burials were made consecutively as people passed. On occasion, space with left for a spouse. A transcription was compiled by C. W. Unger and William H. Dietrich which appears in the above publication and is available for purchase at the Schuylkill County Historical Society. The row numbers began at the East end of the cemetery, from north to south. As of June 2021, the order of tombstones varies slightly from the published transcription. Row and stone numbers entered in the plot field follow the Unger and Dietrich numbering system.

There is also a newer transcription available at the cemetery in a mailbox attached to the shed. This transcription is from an Eagle Scout project and numbering starts from the opposite side of the cemetery.

Photos posted in June 2021 are GPS tagged and this should assist in locating tombsones.
