Two years ago I had occasion to go to Palmerton and visit with a cousin of mine. As an Uncle of ours who died around 1904-1906 in infancy is supposedly buried in this cemetery, we took a quick trip to check it out. It is very small and was created somwhere around 1890 and in use until possibly 1913 or so. Not many tombstones and some have only 2 initials on them. Could not find our Uncle's though. If anyone is trying to locate it, it is located next to 601 Fireline Road and directly across the street from Engle Concrete Works. My GPS until places it at N40 degrees 48' 23.2" and W75 degrees 39' 37.8" or in fractions of degrees 40.80644N 75.66049W. I can supply a JPG map of the location if anyone would like one.. I would say there are around 15 to 20 marked graves. I understand that there were a number of unmarked graves, including my uncle. Some of them are Hungarian. I should have written down some more information, but it was getting a little late in the day and we had to get home before dinner time as my wife had evening plans. Apparently the people living at the 601 Fireline address were mowing the weeds, etc. since it adjoins their property. And no, I don't have a name. There are no visible markings or fence around the gravesite. Just a plot of land about 18 feet by 25 feet. Not very big. I checked with Rev. Ward at the Palmerton Sacred Heart Church about the cemetery. Their records only go back to 1908, but he said that the cemetery was cared for by the pastors of the Catholic Churches in Slatington and Lehighton. I then wrote to Rev. Grembocki at Assumption B.V.M. Church in Slatington. One of his assistants called me on 3/1/2002 and told me that their records only go back to 1906. Before that it was under SS Peter & Paul Church in Lehighton. I was unable to contact anyone in Lehighton. I can also supply jpg pictures of this cemetery, if desired. By the way, I am a native of Palmerton, attended S. S. Palmer High until 1948. Then went to Bordentown Military Institute and graduated in 1950.
