The cemetery is a private family cemetery started by Rev. Lawrence Manzer in the 1830s because the community of South Gibson had no place to bury the early settlers as they died off (Susquehanna County was settled in the 1790s by veterans of the Revolutionary War). He donated the land and then managed the cemetery until his death and the responsibility then fell to his son who took over the family farm where the cemetery is located. Manzer descendants still live on that farm and keep the cemetery in good order.
