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 old Fireline Church, which stood at the point where Dairy Road and Fireline Road are today (across from the Fireline Restaurant, formerly known as Smitty's Fireline Hotel), served the people of this vicinity long before 1908. According to the Biographical History Directory of Palmerton 1944-1949, Volume 1, Edition 1, compiled by Archpriest Father V. Gindlin, the Fireline Church was built in 1856 by a German Catholic congregation. Fire later destroyed the Fireline Church.

The cemetery is located on Fireline Road from Bowmanstown at about a mile before the intersection of Dairy and Fireline Roads. The cemetery is also known as Holy Cross Cemetery.

Every stone has been photographed and is posted on Find A Grave (July 2011).
