Welcome to Hessville Cemetery. An active cemetery taken care of by Washington Township. This cemetery is also known as Providence Cemetery.
On September 15, 1834, Barnet Henry and Elizabeth Bowman sold 160 square rods of property to the trustees of the Lutheran and Presbyterian congregations for a church and burying ground for $5.00.
In this cemetery is the grave of John Burkhardt (Burket) Sr. who was a bodyguard for George Washington in the Revolutionary War. He died in 1847 and his wife Catherine died in 1862.
