LOWER SAUCON YARD

LOWER SAUCON YARD
Lower Saucon township had within its limits no less than seven grave-yards, three of which were abandoned in the latter part of the first half of the present century. The oldest of these was laid-out in 1747 near the present site of the Lehigh Valley RWY. Co's offices at South Bethlehem, the second on the Beidelman farm, the third near Shimersville: not a stone remains to mark the exact spot of their location.

The LOWER SAUCON Yard was laid-out prior to the Revolution: it is situated two miles N. E. of Hellertown. The public highway separates the old yard from the Church and "new Yard". Services wee held as early as 1740.
This information is from the book "Old Graveyards of Northampton and Adjacent Counties" by Johy Eyerman. Only the names with dates are buried here. He also added "notes" to each site. Book was published in 1901. Best to check with the Easton Library, Easton, Pa. for verification of the directions.
