Marilyn, The Butler Pa Library's Online Obit Index has one for Lena McCandless with a date of 8 Sept 1953. This might be yours considering what are the odds of 2 Lena McCandless's dying in the fall of 1953. You might consider sending for this to determine if indeed she is buried in Rosehill. I saw no good hits for Mrs. Shook, but didn't look for her family. Bella Oct 3, 2009 12:40:14 PM, [1]pabutler@rootsweb.com wrote: Diane - could you do a cemetery look-up for me? I'm trying to find Mary Caroline Reddick Shook. She died in 1928 and, I believe, is buried in Rosehill Cemetery, near Lyndora. I'm curious as to whether any other members of her family (husband John, 3 sons & 3 daughters - Roseanne, Jesse Clarence, George Willis, Norman Earl, Olive M. & Pearl F.) are buried near her. Does the index tell what part of the cemetery they are in? That's a BIG cemetery! I'm also looking for Lena Mable Bellis McCandless (29 Jan 1879 - 11 Nov 1953), wife of Charles McCandless, b. 1875, whom I believe is also buried in Rosehill. Once again, I'd be curious as to whether any of her family (Donald, Ernest, & Clayton McCandless) are buried near her. I'm hoping to be in Butler County some time this fall and would be oh so happy to be able to visit these graves. Marilyn "Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." W. B.

Thank you, Bella. I have some friends who live and/or work in Butler, so I just e-mailed them to see it one could go and look for me. I always apprecirte your help. In the Butler County Recorder of Deeds, I found an Application for Association for the United Presbyterian Church of Clinton (Twp.). I'm wondering if this could be Pleasant Unity.
