Yes, I saw Fairview. There is an entrance for Fairview and it is labeled. There was no sign that specified Old St. Joseph's. We spoke to a man whose property shares the driveway with Fairview. He said that Old St. Joseph's backs up to Fairview and it is also across the street. There are many areas on both sides without stones. This may have a lot to do with what you said about the flood. I had also heard that they had relocated graves. I did find people at the New St. Joseph's, but didn't have a chance to make it through the entire cemetery. -----Original Message----- From: James Martin Owston [mailto:jowston@cwv.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 12:34 PM To: PAMCKEESPORT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAMCKEESPORT] Old St. Joseph's Cemetery The protestant half is Fairview Cemetery. My step father told me that when they put in Coursin St. they bisected the two cemeteries and graves needed to be re-located. During this time, because of heavy rains, caskets were floating down the hill to 5th Avenue. I would like to know further of the Old St. Joe's too as I have an Uncle who died as a child buried there.
