Bethany German Lutheran Cemetery

After researching the various death records for my family, I am convinced that most of the grave yard known as Bethany Lutheran Cemetery located at Pechin & Martin Streets in Roxborough/Manayunk is filled with my family's German relatives. The grave yard is located between houses on a block. It is the size of someone's backyard. I counted more than twenty relatives interred in its ground. Henry B Ritter and three of four of his wives are interred there in addition to several children from all of these wives. His third wife was my relative Marie/Mary Voigt.

Most of the Kellers and Viogts are also interred in these grounds.
