Hi, Does anyone know if the Graceham Moravian Church Cemetery is still intact? I have family buried there, and I would like to find if they still have gravemarkers. Thanks, Lorin Snyder vent414@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Hi Lorin, RE: >Does anyone know if the Graceham Moravian Church Cemetery is still intact? >I have family buried there, and I would like to find if they still have >gravemarkers. The graveyard at Graceham is on a hill side across the street from the church. It is remarkable condition for a cemetery that old. Some of the stones are badly worn, but that is by no means the majority, which are quite readable. Graceham used the "choir" method for burials, ie, men to the right, women to the left and children to the back of the cemetery. Folks were buried in date order. By the way, the spring house at the rear of the church is original! With any luck, one of the church members will spot you in the cemetery and will come over and speak with you.
