Could someone tell me exactly where Washburn Street Cemetery is? Is it in Plymouth, PA? I have relatives that were from Plymouth and I don't know where they are buried. I have Benjamin relatives buried in Dunmore Cemetery but there are no Bamfords there. I have just starting reading the Washburn Street articles and have probably deleted some. I need help finding where my Bamford and Lees relatives are buried. Also, does anyone know which cemeteries are located in the Plymouth, PA area. Thanks.

Also, something to keep in mind is that sometimes these mining families did not have the money to put a tombstone to mark the grave. In the case of my great grandfather and his brother, a killed in British Columbia mining accident, they were buried in the same unmarked grave at The Dickson City Primitive Methodist Cemetery.

Hi Of course I do not know the entire cemetery sections. I can mention the ones where I have family. When you enter the front "gate" the streets to the right are named in order from back to front. Going thru the gate and straight ahead to the back of the cemetery is First Ave. This is the 4th right, not the curve around at the far back. The other "streets" are numbered Second Third and Fourth. Fourth Ave. being the first street to the right when you come thru the gate. This is just past the block building. If you turn right on Fourth Ave., going toward the West Mountain, Section "G" is on the left. Continuing on the main entrance all the way to the back of the cemetery, you will curve around and find a small gardener's shed. This area on the right is "Third Section". I have a gggf who died in the Avondale Mine Disaster 1869 in Plymouth. 61 men from Scranton died in the fire and are buried in Washburn. I have walked it many times, but cannot find John Harris. Greg Graziano, the very kind man that keeps the records, cannot find him either. The National Welsh American Society (?) has placed a marker in the front of the cemetery to honor these men. They may have some burial info from long ago. I understand the cemetery was started or at least very new when the disaster occurred. The cemetery was called upon to bury 61 men in a few days time.

Wouldn't we all? I'd love to transcrible the cemetery and have "dabbled" with ways to do so, even asking a couple of acquaintances if they would like to help. A good start would be to order up and transcribe the LDS microfilm made in 1940. However, it unfortunately does not contain all of the people known to be buried there. A good example is my great grand-father who was killed in the National mines in Jan. 1922. I'd be happy to contribute my list of known Rees(e) burials from walking the cemetery, and a list prepared from obits collected through my newspaper research. In fact, I'll co-ordinate and accept contributions for such a list arranged as follows (sample): "tombstone location" "last_name", "first_name [spouse]" "age" "birthyr" "death_date" "notes/comments" 1 12 12 Reese, John L. [Ann L.] 73 1802 1875 1 12 12 Reese, Ann L. [John L.] 85 1806 1891 b 1808 1 12 12 Reese, Thomas L. 23 1834 1857 LDS lists b 1839 rear center Reese, Griffith [Stella] 73 1896 1969 rear center Reese, Stella [Griffith] 67 1898 1965 not found Reese, Philip [Catherine] 1840 1911 not found Reese, Philip Jr. 1868 1891 not found Reese, William 1871 1881 not found Reese, Catherine [Philip] 1837 1915 unknown Davies, Henry B., Mrs. 52 10/11/1906 552 Eynon, obit Here is what I am using for location: 1 - old section, east side in the corner facing Washburn St. 2 - old section, rear [this is seperated from section 1 by the old Hyde Park cemetery entance] 3 - "island" surrounded by access road from new section to section 1. 4 - front, left of main entrance 5 - rear, left of main entrance; subdivided into three smaller sections 5a, 5b, 5c by grassy, rutted roads. 6 - front to right along Washburn St., main entrance to imaginary continuation of loop around road. 7 - to right of main entrance road after first road to right. 8 - to right of main entrance road, to rear of section 8, seperated by grassy rutted road. 9 - newer section, to right of main entrance road, seperated from 8 by second main road to right. 10 - far rear corner and west side of cemetery, uses a "continuation" of the second main road to divide it from section 11 11 -middle section on west end, divided from section 12 by continuation of first main road to right. 12 - front section along Washburn street west of loop around road. I then count the row number with the first row being the closest to Washburn street in each section, and the tombstone from the closest to the main (center) entrance road. It's never going to be precise, but should get someone close enough to be able to look around and find the stone they are seeking, and it keeps the families together. -----Original Message----- From: Susan W Pieroth <pieroth@ix.netcom.com> To: PALACKAW-L@rootsweb.com <PALACKAW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, June 21, 2001 2:35 PM Subject: Re: [PA-LAC] Washburn St Cemetery >I'll join that wish.
