William Howe was buried just inside the entrance behind the church when he died Aug. 15, 1820. The cemetery is large and still in use. The oldest stones are directly behind the church and to the right of the church. There is a war memorial in front of the church listing the names of those who fought. Up the hill to the left of the church is a building with veterans' graves around it.  Census: Published in "Miscellaneous Cemeteries, Washington Co., PA", Vol. 1, 1937. Copies in genealogical collection at Citizens Library and Washington Law Library in Washington, PA.  More Information: There is also a book in the genealogical collection at Citizens Library in Washington, PA that contains a more up to date census. It is titled "Howe Cemetery", pub. 1981.  === I'd suggest writing to Citizens Library first for a look-up in the 2 books. They charge between $10 to $12.00 for name searches, last I knew. You might find him through the books. But these "readings" were sometimes not complete; sometimes stones were skipped or missed for some reason. Then, contact the church.
