From HISTORY OF INDIANA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA:

"The above grave-yard is located about one hundred rods (100) from the southwest corner of the county, on an elevation of two hundred (200) feet above the Kiskeminetas river. As the visitor turns his eye up the river then down the stream he beholds a beautiful curve in the river, and as he looks over the river into Westmoreland county, nearly two hundred feet below him, a delightful loop of farms; up stream on the Indiana side, farms. As he turns his eye down on the Indiana side into Armstrong county, an old Indian burial ground can still be observed, and high bluffs. As the morning sun peeps above the horizon it smiles on the same spot, and until the sun drops below the horizon the sight is grand to behold. In thosesand mounds then relatives of the write repose. Forty-four years since the last relative was laid there. This was the only convenient place at that date (1836). Others of the first settlers sleep there."
