About

This free space page for Ikeler Cemetery in Greenwood Township is part of WikiTree's Pennsylvania Cemeteries Project, and was created to document the life and times of our ancestors that are interred there. The Pennsylvania Cemeteries Project is a subproject of the larger U.S. Cemeteries Project.

Ikeler Cemetery, in Greenwood Township, is located in Greenwood Township, south of the Greenwood borough. It lies on the west side of Millertown Road between Bottom Road (T583) and Welliversville Road. Pennsylvania.

Tasks Completed

☑ [30/30] Profile creation of interments on WikiTree
☑ [30/30] Categorization of profiles on WikiTree

To Do

Project members are needed to:

☐ [0/30] Assist with boots-on-the-ground data collection, including:
  • Photography of headstones. None of the headstones have photographs legally usable on WikiTree. Even those which have been photographed have not been photographed in many years, and a view of the current condition of the headstone can be helpful for preservation efforts.
  • GPS data for headstones. Preferably this data would be collected at the same time as taking the photos.
    Transcriptions of headstones. Not all headstones will be fully readable in all photos. Transcriptions give additional context and meaning.
☐ [27/30] Assist in researching and connecting the interred profiles to the public tree. Remaining:

When complete, every grave listed in the Table of Interments will have a photo and be linked to their own WikiTree profile.

Optional additional minestone:

  • Create an audio/video tour of the cemetery
Record a virtual tour of the cemetery that can be viewed as downloadable media on computers, tablets or other device. Such a tour would take the viewer around the cemetery to explore the history of the people buried here. Background information can be supplied. Those with mobile internet access can access online links to more information.

Table of Interments

In Greenwood township on the old hill road from Greenwood village to Bloomsburg, just south of the lower road from the old Ikeler mill to Millville. It is on a corner of the farm of Harold Ikeler, the old Ikeler homestead. The Cemetery stands in an ancient grove of pines west of the road. There aremany [sic] graves marked only by native stones set at head and foot, and some in which these have disappeared can be located only by the oblong depression in the ground. It is probable that there are more which can be no longer located at all by surface appearance.

First Row - next to the road. (The rows are hard to distinguish as they merge into each other and have large vacancies). Beginning at the south.

Second Row from the road - South to North.

Third Row from the road - South to North.

Fourth andlast [sic] Row from the road - South to North.

Total - 22 Graves identified and 50 or more located but unmarked with any written identification.

(Note: The above count does not include Paul H. Duncan, who was found from Find A Grave.)
