Add PhotosThe Rawson family were early colonists near the line of Naamans Creek in the province of Pennsylvania. On a corner of their lands, they established a small burial ground for use by themselves and their neighbors early in the 18th century.
By the 20th century, the burial ground had been long neglected, even though by that time it was located on the grounds of the Interstate Cemetery Company, which administered Lawn Croft Cemetery. Enough survived of the old burial ground to be documented by the Works Progress Administration in 1937. Two small soapstone grave markers were removed to the Delaware County Historical Society, but the rest remained in place in the small wooded grove.
Today the area is overgrown and difficult to access.
