To get to the cemetery: From Ambler take Butler Pike west and turn right
on Morris Road. Go approximately 1.8 miles, then turn left on Penllyn-Blue
Bell Pike. The cemetery is on the right (north) side of the road about
1/2 mile from the turn.
The Boehm Cemetery is owned and operated by the Boehm Reformed Church,
which is adjacent to the cemetery. The church was established in 1740
by Reverend John Philip Boehm with burials commencing shortly thereafter.
The cemetery contains, among others, the remains of unknown Patriots
of the American Revolution who died in the nearby church from wounds
received at the Battle of Germantown. Burials are still performed at
the cemetery. Many of the older stones are difficult or impossible to
read.
I walked and read this cemetery in the summer of 2004. It includes
all existing and legible stones.
