Directions: From the center of Loganton (the intersection of Routes 477 and 880), travel west on Route 880 (toward Tylersville). At 1.3 miles, turn left onto Schrack Road (across from the large farm with multiple silos). Follow Schrack Road for 0.5 mile down through the fields. The cemetery will be on your right.
Brief History: Schracktown Cemetery, also known as the Centerville Cemetery, is located in Greene Township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, 1.8 miles west of PA route 477. The cemetery is located just north of where the first church in Sugar Valley once stood. The church was built on this site around the year 1806 on land donated by Jacob Kehl, one of the early settlers of the valley. Jacob Kehl and Henry Harring constructed the church of wood. The exterior walls of the structure consisted of logs, which were weather-boarded in later years. Both Lutheran and Reformed congregations used the structure until 1852, when construction on the new Lutheran Church in Loganton was completed. The old church stood unused for a number of years, until Elmer Douty purchased and dismantled the structure. Many of the early settlers of Sugar Valley rest in this cemetery, the first burial said to have been in 1806. In 1850, there was a Typhoid Fever epidemic in the valley, evidenced by the dates on many of the grave markers at the site. The most recent burial was in 1985 by the Schrack family, who own the farm adjacent to the old cemetery. Some of the remaining tombstones have become unreadable due to years of weathering; others have become broken or damaged through years of neglect. A few stones were found lying against others and the actual location of the graves are unknown. It is probable that some of the tombstones may be missing from the site. Every effort was made to read all of the remaining tombstones in this cemetery.
