Hillsville, PA is the last little burg on Rt 224 before you cross the OH line. However, you must make a turn off Rt 224 and drive a couple of miles, 2-3, to get to the cemetery. It is in Mahoning Twp, Lawrence Co, PA. There is info on Hillsville, Mahoning Twp and North Beaver Twp in "The History of Lawrence Co, PA". It mentions many of the original settlers names.
