Bethesda Methodist Church - Havertown, PA - Churchyard Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

From (visit link)

"The Bethesda Methodist Church was the first Methodist church in Haverford Township, built in Gothic Revival style in 1832. It and its associated cemetery were located on land donated by Mrs. Lydia Delaney, who is buried there. The driveway lane was donated by William Bittle and John Leedom. The congregation eventually outgrew the building and in 1942 relocated to a new building at Eagle and Steel roads as the Ebenezer Methodist Church. The old building then became a “Fellowship Lodge” of the International Order of Odd Fellows."

According to findagrave.com, there are 199 burials in the churchyard cemetery. The cemetery was the site of an Eagle Scout project that marked out the graves of the veterans (mostly Civil War veterans). Over the front door and central front window of the church you can see the Odd Fellows marker (IOOF 1947). The cemetery is maintained by the Hope Methodist Church at Eagle and Steel Roads.
