I did some look ups at cemeteries in Clarion for someone but can't remember her name. I was looking up the name Waters in the city of Clarion. We recently found some Waters in Limestone Cemetery that may be the ones she was looking for. If anyone knows who this Water's researcher is, let me know a name and email address!

Coming from Rt. 80 take 68N. At intersection of 68 and 322 (Courthouse intersection) continue North. Crossing Little Toby Bridge. As you are starting on Bridge you see a sign that says Highland township. Continuing North if you pass the cemetery (which will be on your left) turn around at the intersection and go back 2/10 of a mile.
