Avenue. Still later church services were held on this site. A picture of this graveyard was included in a Shillington anniversary program.
~ In an abstract of Berks Co. Wills George Breninger was a witness for Nicholas Gauer of Cumru Twp. & Heinrich Ochs was an apprentice of Valentine Straub and was buried near Riehm's Tavern at Cumru Union.
