The Oyster Bay Baptist Church Cemetery can be found at Find A Grave, here.  Most of the stones are newer, the Gerstenberg stone above is in the worst shape of all the stones.  From the records at Find A Grave, it appears that Celcila Steiner, who died in 1877, may be the first burial there, although there are a number of the Mund clan that have unmarked stones.
