The Highspire Cemetery is in Lower Swatara Township, along Eisenhower Boulevard just north of town. It started as a small family burial ground on the 121 acre farm of Rev. Jacob Roop Sr., one of the founders of the Highspire United Brethren in Christ (United Methodist) Church The first interment was that of Anna Maria Roop, who died in 1817. Father Neidig's son Daniel was buried there in 1822. In 1867 the Highspire Cemetery Association was formed by a group of prominent citizens, and they acquired the family plot and adjacent land from the heirs of Christian Roop to create the Highspire Cemetery. The cemetery was dedicated on June 23, 1867.
