Stoner Cemetery
History
4
Heinrich Steiner, known as Stoner, built a stone home, barn, outbuildings, and a cemetery circa 1800. By 1910, the farm was gone and Mary Stoner died, willing the cemetery to the First Church of God in Highspire. Nature, road construction, vandalism, and vehicle collisions damaged the stone walls surrounding the cemetery. In 2019, the First Church of God and the Lower Swatara Township Historic Preservation Society joined forces, and with help from Rep. Thomas L. Mehaffie, III and Keystone Mountain Lake Carpenters' Unions' labor, the cemetery walls were repaired.
