DOTTER'S CORNER CEMETERY
Polk Twp., Monroe Co., PA

Aka. Dottersville. This small rural cemetery is situated in the northwest corner of Polk Township about midway between Penn Forest reservoir and the village of Dotter's Corner. From Kresgeville on Route 209, turn north on Route 534 toward the villages of Dotter's Corner and Jonas. About 2 miles north of Kresgeville, bear left at the fork. After 3/10 of a mile turn left for 1/10 of a mile and then turn right. Proceed north for another 6/10 of a mile and turn left (west) for 4/10 of a mile. At the next intersection, turn right (north) for about 2/10 of a mile to the cemetery which is on the right side of the road. The cemetery is generally in good condition. The earliest burial was that of Magdalene Dotter, who died in 1858. After that time burials continued up to present times. This site may have been the original graveyard of the Dotter (originally spelled Dotterer) family who settled and founded Dotter's Corner. Among the family names on the tombstones are Christman, Dotter, Feller, Getz, Green, Hawk, Moser, Moyer, Seipler, Serfass, Shupp, Wuest and Zacharias.
