Zion Lutheran Cemetery (East Hanover Township)

A note from Charles Kindt, manager of this website:

This cemetery is located along old Route 22 near the Lebanon Co. & Dauphin County line.

This church was built in 1848 by the Lutheran members of Shirks Union House. It was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in 1902.

Unsure of the original source of this info, but the 87 listings added 13 April, 2007, were reportedly culled from a copy of Egles "History of Dauphin & Lebanon Counties", by an unknown third source. They are herein listed just as general information,and may or may not be accurate in all instances.
