The Zion Stone Church was dedicated on Jun 18, 1772 with a graveyard nearby. The first church is gone, the graveyard was abandoned, with the stones of some removed and placed on a nearby stone fence. In 1920 the Joint Council of Zion Stone Church took necessary steps to revive the old graveyard, embedding the markers in a cement monument with dates of the actions. It states 'These tombstones were brought here on Jul 22, 1920 from the old abandoned burial grounds at Howersville, Northampton County Pennsylvania, where the first church of these congregations had been erected in the year 1747."
The cemetery is also known as Kreidersville Cemetery, Stone Church Cemetery, Zion UCC Stone Church Cemetery and Zions Stone UCC Cemetery.
