On December 28, 1887, James Snyder set aside 10 acres here to be known as "The Snyder Cemetery". The first grave was opened a year later. Over the years, different parts of this cemetery have been known as Coalport, Chelton Hill and Beers. Perpetual care was officially established in November 1978 at which time the association named it "The Lyleville Cemetery". One stone here is inscribed in Italian. Translation is that the person passed away from the Spanish Flu during the epidemic in 1918 that lasted 2 years and killed 10 times the people who died in WWI.
Please be respectful while here and no night caching please.
