Cassel's Cemetery, Newberry Township

Cassel's Cemetery is located on Cassel Road in Newberrytown Township. It is a very old cemetery with the earliest known burial date of 1847, that of Jeremiah Cassel son of John and Susan Cassel. 




Over the years, it has grown slowly but has remained part of many local family histories, including our own. Our ancestor, Michael Cassel donated the land for burial purposes when his grandson, Jeremiah Cassel died. Through the years, part of the cemetery land was purchased from Jacob Bruaw in 1904 and Maggie Cassel in 1928, making it what it is today, a beautiful, peaceful country setting.

Cassel Church is now looking for people who are interested in helping to maintain and preserve the cemetery. Please review the list of names buried in the cemetery. You could help maintain your ancestor's final resting spot!

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 39

Week 39: The theme for Week 39 is “Disappeared.” All of us have someone on our family tree who seems to have just disappeared. This is a good week to write about them. (Who knows – maybe writing about them will help you spot some gaps in your research and give you ideas on new places to look!) Martin Stanley Taylor Born: 24 Jul 1874 • Newberry, York, Pennsylvania, USA Death: ?? Arizona??  2nd great-grandfather Martin Stanley Taylor, my 2nd great-grandfather is the brick wall that I can't seem to break through. I know when and where he was born. I know that he abandoned my 2nd great-grandmother and their daughter. I know he moved to Ohio, remarried, and then settled in Arizona. I know that he outlived his second wife... but that is where the trail ends.  He disappears completely off the records.  I can't find a death certificate or a grave listing.  His first wife, Minnie, is buried at Paddletown Cemetery in Newberry Township. His second wife, Anna, is buried in her f...

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 30

  Week 30: The theme for Week 30 is “Religious Traditions.” Have you explored religious records for any of your ancestors? Do you have an ancestor who was active in his/her place of worship? I am the only practicing Catholic in my family. My mom comes from a long line of Protestants and United Methodists. When she married my father they agreed that their children would be baptized into the Catholic Church.  Despite that agreement, we didn’t attend Catholic Mass while I was growing up. Instead, we found ourselves in various Methodist congregations throughout the years. It wasn’t until I turned 20 that I made the personal decision to be Confirmed in the Catholic Church—a step that marked the beginning of my own faith journey.
