About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Also known as Irich's or Eirich's, it is located approximately one mile east of Shamokin on the south side of Route 61. It was the oldest graveyard in that part of the county. Burials started after the Revolutionary War up until the 1850s. Members of the James Cherry family, one of the oldest settlers of the area, among others, are buried there. The cemetery is located next to what used to be James Cherry's tavern.

There are appropriately 75 crude rock grave markers in which any markings or inscriptions are now lost to time. It is believed there are around 110 burials. Only three tombstones are legible and then, only slightly.
