St. Peter's Cemetery was near St. Peter's Catholic Church and was laid out around 1860. Records were destroyed when the rectory burned in the mid 1920's. The earliest existing stone dates from 1863.

"St. Peter's Cemetery was founded shortly after the church was founded by Jesuits from St. Paul's Mission, Bally, Pa. in 1752 at 111 Duke Street (now known as 7th Street.) The Cemetery continued beside the Church until 1844, when it was moved to Tenth and South Streets Reading. Other wise known as Nanny Goat Hill. The land that the Church and the Cemetery had been located on was sold in 1845 so that a new Church could be constructed on South Fifth Street"--Prelim. p.
