Cemetery does not look like it is still in use. Also looks like many headstones are missing. From the 1877 history of the area:
"The white frame house of worship stands three and one-fourth miles north of New Castle, on the road to Mercer via New Wilmington. Around it stand primeval oaks, and behind it slumber many of the dead that once worshipped within its walls."
Some ancient looking trees still stand there. Oddly, a small playground sits in the midst of some of the headstones.
Name of church or churchyard: Shenango Presbyterian Church
Approximate Size: Small (11-50)
