This cemetery is a very small Family Cemetery, which is no longer in use and it is recorded in other sources. It is located in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County, PA, between Sawmill Road and Seldom Seen Road, in the small village of Whitesburg. The best directions to give, under the circumstances, would be to drive, east from Kittanning, PA or west, from Elderton, PA on US Route 422 to Whitesburg, PA and exit US Route 422, by turning onto Sawmill Road. Drive to a lane called Greenview Lane (or to the house or driveway, on the left, before this lane) about 1/2 mile and inquire from the locals the whereabouts of this cemetery. From Sawmill Road, the cemetery would be on the left side and up in the woods, on a hill.

This cemetery is a good distance onto Private Property, from the public roads and because of the the terrain and the lack of parking and the electric fences and the livestock roaming free, in the fields, it is certainly a good idea to obtain permission and perhaps a landowner "guide." Pennsylvania law prohibits the trespass posting of a cemetery, but in this case...get permission.

There is not much to see there and many of the stones are broken and laying on the ground. There are a few that are just propped up against a tree. Most are illegible, with at most, part of a name or parts of a date discernible. Only one stone, that of the Sloan children, has a name that can be clearly read. The cemetery is in a wooded lot and is currently overgrown and the best time to visit would be early Spring Time or Very Late Fall.
