The cemetery is on both sides of the road, the older section, also known as the Old Bremen Cemetery, has within its cemetery the gravesites of Joshua Webber, William Keene and Patriot Commander Samuel Tucker all American Revolutionary War veterans. Commander Tucker was commissioned by General George Washington, who later became the first president of the United States of America.

Also interred in the new section is Richard H. Hornberger who was born February 1, 1924 and died November 4, 1997. He wrote the novel "M*A*S*H" under the pseudonym of "Richard Hooker."

The Frederic Webber is near the centre of the western, newer section of the cemetery. Now with quite a lean to one side, the headstone is in otherwise good condition except for a few cracks. It is a gable topped monument with an interesting relief on the gable sides and rustication on the gable ends and around the base.

There is a Webber Pond in the Bremen area, probably named for the family and reputed to be a good fishing hole. 219 acres in size it holds Smallmouth bass, Chain pickerel White perch, as well as a few lesser species.
