My grandparents were not patients at the sanitarium, so I don't think it was *that *Union cemetery, but that does confirm there is a Union in both towns. If I remember correctly, the Union Cemetery they are buried in buts up against a patch of houses….a small housing plan. It is not as large of a cemetery as I see in that Cresson photo so I believe they are in Gallitzin, but I suppose I'll have to check to make sure. (They are not on the list on the CamGenPA website.)

I've put an aerial photo on the "temp" area at the site. It's at: http://www.camgenpa.com/temp/Union_Gallitzin.jpg Note that it's "temp" and will disappear in a few days (or next time we "clean up" the area <grin>). Does this one look familiar? If I recall correctly, the flat part of the cemetery is toward the bottom of the photo, and it goes steeply "downhill" as you go towards Pershing street, and the "older" part of the cemetery is towards the top of that photo (bottom of the hill). Now, to confuse you even more ... There's a Union Methodist Cemetery over near Coupon (somewhere ... I haven't found it yet, physically). Jennie Amrhein contributed 2 listings back before Lynne & I started maintaining the site. Two different "Union" Cemeteries. One in Coupon, and one in Gallitzin, but both within Gallitzin Township. Credit cudos ... The aerial photo was cropped from www.bing.com maps.

Hi everyone, Thanks for your responses. I did some detective work after seeing the below from Diann and then remembering I have a photo of my mom next to my grandparents' headstone. (I don't think we can send attachments, right? Otherwise I would attach.) I believe they are in Union at Gallitzin. My grandparents are not on the survey of names (which worries me a bit) but there are two graves to the right of them in the photo that I have where I can see the deceased's name on the Union Gallitzin list, so that pretty much confirms they are there.
