Elizabeth Miller

with additional photos contributed by  PA 022 USAF JROTC Unit-North Allegheny High School which were taken during a cleanup effort of the site done 05 Jun 2007.  A special thanks to Norm Meinert for his assistance with in helping to obtain these photos


     Cemetery is located on Duncan Avenue Ext., across from the Allegheny County Memorial Park.  Cemetery burials from about 1943 - 1961.  Cemetery is now abandoned.  First 200 feet is mowed, but cemetery appears to extend back into weeds and growth about another 700 feet. 

     A recent effort by concerned citizens to attempt to restore this forgotten and neglected historical site has unfortunately disbanded because of the strains and stresses associated with attempting such a momentous task.  Thanks to all of these concerned historians. Their efforts should not be forgotten.
