On September 11, 1906, Father Suchowski established the cemetery with land purchased from Mr. Nesbitt (Watson and May) Trustees, for $100.00 paid by St. Mary of Czestochowa of Moosic Borough, Pa. This land is described as follows:
"Beginning at the intersection of the Northwesterly side of Ridge Avenue and the line between lots number (24) and twenty-five; thence along said side of Ridge Avenue 200 feet to its intersection with the line between lots numbered 28 and 29; thence along said line one hundred and fifty feet to its intersection with the Southeasterly side of an alley; thence along said side of the alley (200) feet to its intersection with the line between lots numbered 24 and 25 one hundred and fifty feet to the place of beginning. Being lots number 25-26-27 and 28 in block twenty one on the Trustees Map of Green- wood Lots as surveyed by C.W. Thompson, Jr. and being immediately in the rear of the lots conveyed by deed dated August 30, 1904.
This same cemetery now became Father Suchowski's resting place as he was overcome by sick¬ness and died at the parochial residence on August 4, 1913. He is buried where he worked, prayed and loved. A large crucifix was erected in later years to mark the burial place of St. Mary's second pastor.
