Book Description
Cemeteries hold a special significance in African American culture because they provide an important and elusive link in tracing African heritage. This 150th Anniversary commemorative booklet provides a unique glimpse into some of the individuals that are laid to rest within the folds of Lebanon Cemetery, the largest and one of the oldest African American cemeteries located in York County, Pennsylvania. Historically, York City's black families had very limited choices when it came to burying their loved ones. With the purpose of creating a space to bury their loved ones with dignity and respect, York's black community came together and on August 26, 1872, the Lebanon Cemetery Company was chartered by nine men who came from different backgrounds and different church bodies. Once chartered, the original managers purchased nearly 2 acres of land at the rate of $500.00 per acre at a site about 3/4 of a mile north of the city. This was the beginning of Lebanon Cemetery. The cemetery was consecrated on November 3, 1872. Over the next 30 years, the cemetery grounds were expanded with the purchase of more small parcels, bringing it to today's total size of just under 5 acres containing approximately 3,800 persons. Today it remains the final resting place of some of York's earliest African American pioneers. And it is an enduring testament to their history.
