East Harrisburg Cemetery


East Harrisburg Cemetery is an historic cemetery located outside of the city limits of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The older, eastern section of the cemetery is located within the borough of Penbrook; the western section is located in Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County.

History

Established in 1874, the cemetery received its name from its location. Straddling the border between the borough of Penbrook, formerly known as East Harrisburg, and Susquehanna Township, the cemetery's operations were administered in 1875 by David Mumma and Samuel Landis. Lots sold from "10 to 25 , according to location" in 1875.
As of 2019, the cemetery remained in active use.
