The Old Albrightsville Cemetery 

Near 

Albrightsville 

In Penn Forest Twp., 

Carbon Co., Pa.

            Located near the border of Penn Forest and Kidder Twps., about 1/8th mile west of Rt. 903, at the intersection of N. Old Stage Road and Henning Road.Originally this small cemetery was on land owned by the Henning Family, but in recent years the plot was deeded over to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Kidder Twp., who now maintain it.This is a very old cemetery, the earliest burials with surviving stones date to the late 1850s.The most recent burial took place in 1976.Though small and old, the cemetery is very well tended, a peaceful and appropriate resting place for those interred here.Many of these families still live in the area.

            Though most of the stones are the typical type of gravestone found in old cemeteries, there is one stone that stands out as very unusual.That is the stone of Aquila Henning.All gravestones tell a story, but this one goes way beyond that.See the Wilkinson Murder Trial, below.
