Jacob Grim 1802 Farm Cemetery, In Field on Hill behind Barn, off Rt. 863/ Independent Road. Cemetery's location is near the border of Lehigh/Berks County. Maxatawny Township to the West, Weisenberg to the North, Upper Macungie to the South and East. The farm was passed to Jacob's Son, Jesse, as mentioned in text below.

From 1884 History of Lehigh and Carbon Counties, p. 475
"There is a graveyard on the Land of Jesse Grim, in Weissenberg township, which was started in 1801. The first persons buried there were Daniel and Catherine Grim, who died only eight days apart. There are not many persons buried there. This is the only graveyard in the township except those at the churches. In the earlier times persons were buried on their own farms, but the places were not fenced as graveyards and are generally not known at the present; and those which are known are farmed as any other land. There are also places visible in some parts which are said to be Indian graves, particularly upon the lands of Jesse Grim."
