Description

This photograph shows the fence and front entrance to the Pawlings Cemetery in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. This private family cemetery is the final resting place for members of the Pawling, Reiff, and Hauff families. There is also at least one marker at this cemetery that reads "slave." According to an article written by Rev. Judith A. Meier, this enslaved person is a woman named Liza. Native Americans are also believed to be buried here. It is unclear how many people are here in unmarked graves.
