West Fairfield Methodist Cemetery
Fairfield Township
Westmoreland County PA
The West Fairfield Methodist cemetery: Fairfield Twp. Westmoreland
County, Pennsylvania.This cemetery is across the street from the former Methodist Episcopal
church, which has been converted into an auction barn. On the same plot
of land as the cemetery stands a newer church, the United Presbyterian
Church. This has caused some confusion in that when the cemetery is
referred to as the Methodist cemetery, it is not understood because there
are no longer any Methodist churches in West Fairfield. As in many older
cemeteries, there are unreadable stones and unmarked graves.The format is SURNAME (in capitals) / First name / birth date OR date of
