The Harmon Historic Cemetery is located in the Pottertown community on lands previously owned by Jacob Harmon Senior (c. 1781-1843) and his wife Catherine Misemer Harmon (c. 1785-after 1851). Their farm totaled 540 acres of land according to Jacob's will probated January 1, 1844 in Greene County. Both the Harmon and Misemer (various spellings) families came from Pennsylvania near the end of the 18th century. Although the earliest readable tombstone in this cemetery is for a Harmon child who died in 1858, it is believed both Jacob Sr. and Catherine Harmon are buried here.
FindAGrave member 47635396 relates that as a young child she often visited this farm where her great Aunt and great Uncle lived. Her great Aunt Cora would make a picnic lunch and they would go out into the graveyard and Cora would tell stories of her youth and about her father and siblings. It was told to her that when Jacob and Catherine died they were laid to rest in the family cemetery there on the farm and at the head and foot of their graves cedar trees was planted. The trees are now gone and no memorial stone marks their resting place, but they are not forgotten.
The Harmon Historic Cemetery was renovated and restored by a number of individuals, mostly descendants, who wanted those interred to be long remembered as patriots and good citizens of Greene County. Special thanks is due to Donahue Bible for his tireless efforts in the cemetery restoration and the memorialization of several individuals interred in these hallowed grounds.
