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.

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.

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.
