Wentz Meeting House Cemetery
West Manheim Township, York County, Pennsylvania

Lat: 39° 43' 38"N, Lon: 76° 58' 20"W

Contributed by Bill Brick, May 17, 2004 [chairman@pa.net]. Total records = 70.

From Hanover PA, south on Baltimore St. (Rte. 94) 4 mi. to Toll Gate Rd. Right on Toll Gate Rd. to intersection with Impounding Dam Rd. Continue on Impounding Dam Rd. around reservoir to St. Bartholomew Rd. Left on St. Bartholomew Rd. 0.7 mi. to church & cemetery on the right.

This was the old Mount Zion Church cemetery, and is now owned and well maintained by the Wentz Meeting House. It is quite old and does not seem to be actively used. It has not had a burial in it since 1969, according to the headstones.

I walked and read all existing and legible tombstones in 2003. There were at least two unidentifiable burial sites.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
