    1. [PAWASHIN] Paris Cemetery - Cemetery Damage

    3. Paris Cemetery - Cemetery Damage FYI, there was an accident Nov. 18, 2010 in the Paris Cemetery, Washington Co., PA; removing a long swatch and a numerous number of headstones along the length of the old Steubenville Pike. This cemetery is located just across the Pennsylvania state line, east of Weirton and contains many burials from the Tri-State area. The news article does not begin to cover the extent of damage and loss. Please visit this news site while it lasts: <http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2010/11/19/man-plows-pick-up-truck-through-steubenville-pike-cemetery/>http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2010/11/19/man-plows-pick-up-truck-through-steubenville-pike-cemetery/ They just missed our family plot by 50 feet and I wonder if they will ever be able to locate descendants of some of these beautiful and old monuments. One family plot now gone - had matching cylinder stones with raised letters. Having visited the accident site two days later, I can't get over how much of the granite pieces are now missing. Please share this info.
