monroe co., pa. st. mark's ch. aka; zimmerman lutheran, laurel hilll ch., branchville, minisink hill, north water gap. this cem. is located down hill from st. mark's ch. at the minisink hills. it is believed that this cem. was the original burying ground of the zimmerman family who probably also provided the land on which the ch. was built. john georg zimmerman came to smithfield twp. from berks co around 1802 and built several mils on marshall's creek. the oldest tombstone found is that of johan georg zimmerman, who died in 1828 . the inscription on this stone indicates he was born in maxatawney twp., berks co. several other tombstone early zimmerman family members say were born at tulpehocken in lebanon co.
