The picturesque Stoverdale United Methodist Church owns this cemetery, which was established as a memorial to Mary and Edward Stover's only child, Edward, Jr. A promising law student at Dickinson College, Edward, Jr., died in 1870. His father set aside part of the farm, about three miles south of Hummelstown, as a fitting spot for a house of worship and an adjoining cemetery. The cemetery is located along Middletown Road at Wood Road in Derry Township. The cemetery abbreviation, "Cem", does not appear on the Derry Township map published in the Dauphin County Historical Atlas of 1875, p. 69, however, the cross symbol does appear. The cemetery is active and well maintained. The Capital Area Genealogical Society recorded the cemetery and published their list in 1994. Volunteers for the Derry Township Historical Society verified the list in 1995 documenting 274 burials. |
