I have had a chance to research the stacks of old tombstones that I spotted in the fenced in yard near Bentleyville, believing they may have come from the old Bentleyville cemetery. Although there are some that are quite old, I was currious to find why some of the stones had dates in the 1960's and later (one was 1980). Turns out that the land is being used by one of the tombstone companies, and the stone in question were either "mistakes", "rejects" or "trade ins" (people getting new stones to replace old ones). I guess there may be some clues there, but they have no records as to what cemetery the stones were in , or intended for! Sorry for the false alarm. Perhaps I should have checked it out before opening my mouth (or my email program!!) -- Thanks Mike Donaldson, Bentleyville, PA (mdonald4@bentcom.net) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mon Valley History and Genealogy Website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pamonval/ Mon Valley: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: http://www.geocities.com/mdonald318/ My family gedcom: http://www.my-ged.com/donldson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listowner of: Monongahela River Valley of Penna Rootsweb mailing list: PAMONVAL-L@rootsweb.com - Mail mode PAMONVAL-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode Bieneman / Bienemann Rootsweb Mailing list Bienemann-L@rootsweb.com - Mail Mode Bienemann-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode
