Overview
The Lutheran Congregation at Brush Valley was one of the oldest in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being founded in 1794 by a group of German pioneers. Very few records exist of the first two churches on the property. Extant records note that both were built in the existing graveyard, but the exact locations of the churches and the graves around them are not known. These uncertainties have made it difficult for the current Board of Directors of the cemetery to determine where space may be available for additional burials in the future. This thesis presents the results of ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity surveys, and ground truthing of a 40x40 meter area in the old section of the cemetery to the west of the current church building as they pertain to identifying the locations of the original churches, determining if any physical remains of the buildings are still present, and assessing the number of unmarked graves present within the area of survey.In total, 183 anomalies are interpreted as burials: 73 likely burials and 110 possible burials; of these, at least 38 are interpreted as child or infant burials. The location of the Old Log Church is interpreted to be associated with Anomaly 6 in Grid 1 and the location of the second church is interpreted to be associated with Anomaly 12 in Grid 3.
