*Special Thanks to Jeremy Hersey, Renee Hersey, Marcella Iovino, and Karen Zinza for donating this cemetery to the Clearfield County Genealogy Project. The cemetery was transcribed over Labor Day weekend (1999).

Jeremy notes that " In general, we walked through each cemetery in an orderly fashion, but did not attempt to find the exact "row structure" i.e. plot. Where it is evident, we kept the order, and where there was evidence of a grave (i.e. rotten wood in the ground, or the base from a lost stone), we marked it as unknown. Any stone that was broken or turned over I dug out of the ground and turned it right side, so I could read the text. I then put it back the way I found it. Unfortunately, those whose text was face down will survive and weather much better, but cannot be read (unless you feel like turning them over like I did).

Finally, those stones that were written in Cyrillic were copied symbol for symbol, and in the evenings I translated them into English."
