A Little History
Bakerstown East cemetery is located right behind the FPCB Sanctuary. Many of our church founders and members of the founding families are buried here. Their memories are kept alive by our community by the naming of the local streets after these individuals.
The cemetery across Route 8, known as Bakerstown Cemetery or Bakerstown West, was chartered on September 18, 1897, by Hugh G. Alison, William H. Heckert, William Scott, David S. Dickson, and L.M. Allen. When it became too much to manage, Samuel H. Allen gifted the property to FPCB on February 5, 1965, along with a trust fund to provide for perpetual care. Later, legal questions arose that led to the merger of the cemetery and the church on February 17, 1992.
