Mr. Hugh Logan passed away in 1873 and requested in his will that a 1 acre plot of land on his farm be established as a public cemetery. This is how the Round Hill cemetery came to be.
Hugh's son John Wood Logan established the town of Parnassus in 1855, it is now incorporated into the city of New Kensington, Pa.
Hugh Logan's father, Alexander Logan, established the town of Logans Ferry, located several miles from Parnassus.
======================================
About this cemetery: I believe John Wood Logan, founder of Parnassus, was the brother of Hugh Logan, not his son. Both were sons of Alexander Logan who began the ferry service and from whom Logan's Ferry got its name.
Hugh Logan took over his father Alexander's store located at the ferry landing. The Pennsylvania Canal, which followed the Allegheny River on the opposite (Springdale) side from Logan's Ferry was the source of business for a hotel maintained by the Logan Family. Hugh Logan was Postmaster for the area for years until his brother John founded Parnassus and obtained the Postmastership.
