Immanuel Cemetery AKA Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery--In March 1874, a tract of land was purchased on Grindon Avenue near Harford Road to serve as a congregational cemetery for Immanuel Lutheran Church. In 1882, a chapel was provided and in 1890 a home for the caretaker was constructed. For Immanuel, the cemetery has become a quiet restful retreat reminding her members of the Communion of Saints and bespeaking an abiding hope in the renewal of broken ties in the life to come.
