The Jerusalem Church was organized in 1804 when Annville was known as Millerstown. It consisted of both Reformed and Lutheran congregations. The cemetery was Annville's oldest burial ground and was originally surrounded by a limestone wall. In 1872, the congregations agreed to split and the Reformed bought the Lutheran's share for $3,000 and became known as Christ Reformed Church. In 2021, it is known as Christ Church UCC.



This cemetery was plowed over in the 1950s. No full accounting has been located of the names of those who were reinterred in other cemeteries in the area. There is a solitary marker erected by a Boy Scout troop as an Eagle Scout project commemorating those that were buried in this cemetery. Individuals originally buried here that have been identified as having been moved to another cemetery have been deleted from this cemetery and notation made on the reinterrment memorial.



A PDF of Annville's Oldest Burial Place and It's Memories by Prof. Thomas S. Stein, 1915, can be found online. It provides transcriptions of the memorials entered here.
