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.

Peter Berst came to America with his four children prior to 1765 and was the first to be buried in this family cemetery. The Berst family was the first known original owners of the brownstone quarry in the south hills of Derry Township.
Many of the headstones are of brownstone with german script. Other headstones are of granite. Dates of death range from 1798 to the 1880's. Most of those buried here are of the Berst family, both immediate and extended.
This cemetery is located on Waltonville Road, 1.5 miles south of State Route 322. It is surrounded by four-foot brownstone walls with an iron gate.
In 2001, the cemetery was donated to the Derry Township Historical Society, and is currently being maintained by same.
