Concord Cemetery
Plum Creek Township
Armstrong County Pennsylvania

The following pages contain a record of the graves found in the "Concord Cemetery", located in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong county, Pennsylvania. At one time, there had been a church and a school near this burying ground and it was known as "Concord."

From Smith�s Armstrong County History: "This is speaking of "Atwood" which is about two and one half miles from this Cemetery.

The only church here is the United Presbyterian. The congregation was organized about 1827, though there was occasional preaching earlier, the first sermon having been preached by Rev. Mr. Jamison in 1815. Services were first held under the white oak trees near the house of Samuel Sloan, Sr., near the boundary line between Cowanshannock and Plum Creek townships, on the Robert Semple, Sr., tract. The number of its original members was thirty five. It was called the "Associate Presbyterian Congregation of Concord."

Nancy Sloan, wife of Samuel Sloan, who died April 27th, 1876 is buried in this Cemetery (page 9). Smith Neal, his wife Sarah, their son Robert and his wife Sarah are also buried here.

"Also from Smith�s History:.. Smith Neal was born in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania in 1764. As a lad, he enlisted in the Colonial army and served one day in the Revolutionary war. In 1796 he settled in Butler county, being one of its earliest pioneers. When the War of 1812 broke out his patriotic spirit had better opportunity to exhibit itself than during the first war with the British, and he served as a soldier for a considerable time. The pioneer and soldier continued to reside in Butler county until 1833, when he removed to Armstrong county, where he lived until his death in 1863. His wife was Sarah Cochran, by whom he had one child, Robert, who was born in Butler county, July 5, 1798."

(Note: Concord cemetery was located on Route 210, north of Elderton and together with many acres of farm land was in the path of the Hugh dam that was built to operate the Keystone Generating Station. The bodies and Tombstones were moved to other burial places some time after 1963.)
