History: William H. and Mary Ann Summerson deeded a tract of 2000 square feet to the Trustees of the Gospel Camp Association on Sept. 15, 1920. The church was likely built on this site. On July 8, 1922, Millie Botsford, widow of the late Frank Botsford, Orvie Botsford and Mattie his wife, Stella Botsford Mertz and John Mertz, deeded a parcel of land to the Trustees of the Gospel Camp of Clinton County, Pa., for a cemetery. Initially, this was called the Botsford Cemetery. Eventually, Emmanuel Assembly of God Church was built on the frontage lot, and the cemetery became known as Gospel Camp Community Cemetery. It is still active and is well-maintained.
