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.

Long before West Chester had a Presbyterian Church of its own, adherents were compelled to travel as far as the Great Valley Presbyterian Church to worship. Around 1830, a movement began to take shape to organize a church in the Borough and between 1832 and 1834, a church was built on the southeast corner of Miner and Darlington Streets.

William Augustus Stevens was its first pastor; upon his untimely death at age 27 in October, 1834, he was interred in the churchyard lot behind the church; afterwards, when it was desired to enlarge the church, he was reinterred on the west side of the church. In 1883, his remains were removed to the lot of Addison May, who was his relative, in nearby Oaklands Cemetery.

No burials remain in the churchyard.
