History:

The settlement of the German peoples in Nittany Valley occurred at a very early date, near the close of the 18^th century.  In 1830, a church edifice was erected to meet the needs of the Lutheran and Reformed adherents in the valley.  The building stood on the hill North of Salona.  The Lutherans withdrew from the union church by 1857, and erected a brick church in Salona.  The Reformed people later moved into the Disciple Church in the west end of Salona.  The union church building ceased to exist, and the cemetery was removed.  Most (if not all) of the graves were transferred to Cedar Hill Cemetery, which opened in 1869.  The site is today a farm field across from the Disciple Cemetery, with no indication that it ever served as a burial plot.
