This an old list done by, I believe, the Great Meadows Chapter of the D.A.R.
in or about 1927. While it is far from current, the information is great.
Information contained in ( ) are things we have added as we received
information from reference materials and families.  If you can help us add
anything at all about these veterans, it would be greatly appreciated.

St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church Cemetery

The cemetery is located adjacent to the church in Douglassville, Amity Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The burial ground seems to have been appropriated by common consent by nearby residences and opened without restriction to any family wishing to use it. There are no deeds to the grounds and no established limits. It is believed that the present church buildings and some of the nearby residences are built upon sites of former graves.
