Philadelphia Area Cemeteries - All Saints Episcopal Churchyard

All Saints Episcopal Church is one of the older churches in the Torredale neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. The church was established in 1772. I do not know when the cemetery was founded, but there are several tombstones dating back to the early 1800s and many more that are obscured by time and exposure to the elements. The cemetery is small and very well maintained.
There are several names that people who live in Northeast Philadelphia may recognize as the names of our streets. Names like Ashton - Ashton Rd., Crispin - Crispin St., and Morrell - Morrell Ave.
