History:

The Lutheran and Reformed people in the vicinity of Greenburr established a congregation there in 1867.  It was known as Emanuel Church.  In 1869, a house of worship was constructed and a cemetery laid out adjoining the church.  On 20 Apr 1872, Jacob and Elizabeth Kahl formally deeded a lot of 81 perches to the Lutheran Church (William Bartges, trustee) and the Reformed Church (John Sager, trustee) then meeting as "Emanuel's Church."

The conditions of the deed indicated that it was for a church and burial ground for the Lutheran and Reformed people.  Either side could buy out the other if there was a dispute, but no third denomination could use the facility.  Ultimately, it appears that the Lutherans withdrew from the arrangement, leaving Emanuel Reformed Church.  The graveyard itself was dedicated by the Reformed Church on 22 June 1879.

The congregation continued until the late 1940s, when it was closed.  Lynn Frazier  of Loganton purchased the building in 1962 and dismantled it.  A memorial stone was erected on the church site.  The cemetery is maintained and accepts the occasional burial.
