Dear Karen,
That should be the same one. I don't believe the reason
was an English/German thing. It seems to me that some
people down in Adamsburg wanted the split. I'd have to
check back but that doesn't seem to be the issue here. It's
just the names & locations of the cemeteries at this
particular time. Ellen (ETHS)

The one you refer to as TRINITY.....
Is that the same one I refer to as Adamsburg Cemetery? Its
my understanding
the Adamsburg Cemetery was an offshoot of Brush Creek, one
being German
speaking and one performing services in English.

The Leger Rd Cemetery is not in very good shape but the
stones are mostly
still legible.
