Oak Hill is the main cemetery in Curwensville. Most of the dead over the last 150 years are there. However, out of Curwensville on the Lumber City Road along the dam one goes about two or three miles and then just before the turn off to Grampian, make a sharp cut to the right and up the hill. This goes to the McClure Cemetery where many of the first settlers are buried. There are also more recent burials there too, of Joseph Whitaker's children, grand children and great grand children. If one gets back on the Lumber City Road and turns off to the right to Grampian, one will come into Grampian passed the Friend's Cemetery (Quaker). This is essentially the town cemetery for all there except for the Catholic Cemetery on the far other side of town. Are you looking for anyone in particular? I have relatives in the four cemeteries mentioned as well as the Wood Cemetery toward Irishtown out of Grampian, Union Cemetery in Luthersburg, the Rockton Cemetery and probably more that I haven't gotten to yet. I get back to Clearfield County every three or four months or so. Jean
Thank you, Jean for the information. I know where the Friend's Cemetery is, but am not familiar at all with the area. I live in Montana, only get back home to PA every couple years and I'm not originally from that area. The obit I referred to is one of Mayme Owens Dyer, daughter of John and Mary Owens. It says that the services were in the Curwensville Cemetery Chapel, does that help in locating the right one?
