As some of you know I don't live in Scranton, or PA for that matter. St. Mary's Assumption Church and cemetery(s) has me totally confused. Before I link the new page with the diagrams http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/forest/stmary2.html I would like to get it right. I have searched the old messages and come to the conclusion that the cemetery diagrammed is on Stafford Avenue and backs up to the Presbyterian German Pittston Avenue Cemetery (listings recently provided by Tom Price http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/forest/pittston1.html). The church, St. Mary's Assumption (German) Catholic Church, also has the cemetery, now closed to new burials, on Williams Street, Dunmore (South Scranton). This cemetery, referred to as #5 in some documents, has all the stones removed and a plaque put in it's place. That plaque and list and available information is on the web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/forest/stmary.html. Am I right - close? I found the following references: - St. Mary's German Catholic church in Scranton (St. Mary's Assumption.) - St. Mary's Cemetery on Stafford Avenue in South Scranton is still existence; however, the road is closed as it approaches the bridge just before the cemetery. You have to park the car and walk down to it. I'm not positive but I believe the cemetery is associated with St. Mary of the Assumption Church on the 400 block of River Street in South Scranton. - St. Mary's Assumption (aka German Catholic) Church - St. Mary's Assumption Church Cemetery on Stafford Ave. - St Marys of the Assumption parish on River St. In south Scranton is the one who has the cemetery on Stafford Ave. - The back of St. Mary's borders the back of Hickory St. Presbyterian Church, formerly German Presbyterian; Hickory St., of course being on Hickory St., and St. Mary's on River St. Both churches were (are) right in the heart of the German section of South Side, and both were German churches, and both had cemeteries, St. Mary's being back on Stafford Ave. and Hickory St. being on Pittston Ave. Thanks, Susan
