The German United Evangelical Church established this cemetery next to their church in 1860. They built a new church on the top of the hill south of the church in 1927. They tore down the old church in 1952 to enlarge the cemetery and later added a new memorial lawn park section at the top of the hill across from their new church. This cemetery is adjacent to St John UCC Manchester (New) Cemetery (St11). Each has its own entrance gate, but this gate has been closed.
