PAUPACK CEMETERY
Palmyra, Pike, Pennsylvania

The Cemetery is located SW of State Route 507 near the intersection of Gumbletown Road in Palmyra Twp, Pike Co. PA. A narrow road, bordered by stonewalls leads the way into the quiet, secluded cemtery which was the burying gound for settlers prior to 1800. Zadoch Killam asked that a pine tree be planted to mark his grave. Today, more than two-hundred years later, the Killam pine towers over the rows of graves. In 1877, the Paupack Cemetery Association set up a larger area for burial. A large Potter's Field was located in the northeast end of the cemetery. The cemetery remains an active cemetery today.
