Several years ago, I got a map of the Union Cemetery in Bellefonte at the Pennsylvania Room. I found all of the graves surrounding where my great grandparents were supposed to be. However, in the spot where Alta M. & Thomas E. McClincy were supposed to be, was an empty spot. I have copies of their death certificates saying that they were buried in the Union Cemetery, Bellefonte. I don't know what more I could have done. I can only assume there never were any tombstones for them. Good luck in your search.
