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.

Little Swatara Church of the Brethren began in 1757. The congregation conducted services in six meeting houses. In 1919, this was reduced to four, Merkey, Ziegler, Schubert and Frystown. The book, History of Little Swatara Church of the Brethren 1757-2007 can be purchased at Masthof Press or viewed at the Tulpehocken Settlement Historical Society. It contains a wealth of information on the history of Little Swatara Congregation. A total of 17 cemeteries are documented in this book in the Lebanon and Berks County area. The Church at it's current location was dedicated in October 1964. Burials in the adjoining cemetery began after that date. Member burials prior to that date would have been made in the individual meeting house cemeteries.
