(Excerpts from Pike County Cemetery Book Volume 3)
Located in the N E Section 5 Chambersburg Township off County Rd 376. Entrance is via a partially gravel roadway with a VERY steep climb as it passes thru a farm pasture. Worth the climb, the cemetery is positioned at the top of a very high and narrow ridge of the Mihama Kleinlein farm North East of Chambersburg; providing a beautiful view of the bottom prairie below. This cemetery contains about 2 acres, is partially maintained and occasionally still used. The burials here date from 1842 to the present.
