According to Donna Ristenbatt, Grubbeland Cemetery researcher,"The old Grubben Kirche or Grubbeland Church, as it was called, only lasted a few years. Land for this church was deeded in 1755 and two years later a church was built for the use of the Reformed and Lutheran congregations. By 1768, the church was abandoned and in dilapidated condition. The picture of this cemetery, now a farm field, was taken in February, 1995. The tombstones are piled up against the two stone walls, with the farm field between. In 1995 the stones were in poor condition." Names and dates were obtained by the researcher from Fernsler family researcher, Ron Fernsler, and from an article, "Early and Historic Churches in Lebanon Valley Prior to 1800," read before the Lebanon County Historical Society, May 8, 1936, by Charles D. Weirick.
