Highland Cemetery
Centre County, Pennsylvania, USA
Deeds show that Christiana Sayers deeded land to Henry Gardner, Lloyd Haines, and Wilbur Miller, at that time trustees of the Pilgrim Holiness Church of Howard, on 28 March 1950 for $1.00. The land at that time had buildings, where were reserved for use of Mrs Sayers, a widow, throughout her natural life. It was probably at this time that the church moved from an old building located in front of the cemetery to a house of worship just up the road, which is presently used.
Directions:
Headed northeast from Curtin and I-80 on Pa Route 150: Go 7.0 miles from I-80 to the intersection with PA Route 26 (the road that goes across the causeway to Howard), turn left on Howard Divide Road ( SSR 1001). Go generally north for 1.1 miles. At the top of the hill, there is a dirt road that turns sharply right. The cemetery is a few hundred feet down this road.
