Janet, The cemetery where the Roseners (not Rosners) are buried is the Riverdale or Riverview (I never can remember which it is) Cemetery in Mt. Pleasant Township. Since you didn't give us the names of your ancestors I couldn't look them up. Although there were churches in Pleasant Mount, Aldenville and elsewhere, to the best of my knowledge there was no church associated with that cemetery. Rural church records for that period are virtually non-existent, but if you tell us what names you are researching, perhaps someone has the information you're looking for. German immigrants came to Wayne County for many reasons and worked at many occupations. Some Germans worked at the very early glass factory in Bethany or the later ones in Aldenville (this might be a clue), Honesdale, White Mills, etc. Others were butchers, merchants or canal and Gravity RR workers. And of course the major occupation in Wayne County was farming. A look at the census will answer that question for your particular ancestor and his neighbors (although many men worked at other occupations - like lumbering, tanning, etc. and farmed at the same time but were enumerated as simply "farmer"). There were German Lutheran and Catholic churches in Honesdale, but it appears from the names listed for this cemetery that it was mixed - that is, while there are many German names there are also non-Germans buried there.
