Several members have asked for the address of the Erie County VA office, so I thought I'd post it here for others as well. Bud Neer was kind enough to reply to my message and provided me with the URL for his website which lists VA offices all over the country: http://www.icdc.com/~bfnjr/links.htm I've mailed a letter with my request today and will let you know when I receive a reply and how much information they are able to provide for Erie County cemeteries. Veterans Administration Erie County 1000 State Street, Suite 1-2 Erie, PA 16501 Their telephone number is 814-543-7955. Linda

While Linda's effort is noble, the information presented below (along with the correction in the phone number) is NOT the office which handles county veteran burials or lists of cemeteries with veterans buried in them. As Dick Tefft already pointed out, this office is in the Erie County Courthouse. The office at 1000 State St is the "Vet Center" - Veterans Administration Readjustment and Counseling Center. Unfortunately, I could not follow up until this morning when I made several phone calls. The Erie County Veterans Affairs office is in room O8, West Wing, of the Erie County Courthouse. John Williams is the person in charge and Marie is the person I spoke with. They have a listing of all of the cemeteries with veterans (they do not have a map), they handle the flagholder applications and they have the listings of all of the deceased veterans. The phone number is (814) 451-6265. By the way, this was the office that provided the figure to the Erie Times-News (I believe it was 92) concerning the number of cemeteries in Erie County containing veterans remains. This was in conjuction with the September 27, 2000, front page article in the Morning News.
