Hello List, We are trying to locate information on the Old German Cemetery that used to be on South Main Street in Greensburg. Does anyone have any old pictures or information about it? The cemetery was located next to the City Hall. It was plowed under around the end of the 1940's early 50's. Some of the bodies were moved to Union Cemetery and St. Clair Cemetery. There is a parking lot located there now. We are attempting to put a book together on the cemetery. We have three listings of the cemetery, one by Della Fischer, one by the D.A.R. and one that was published in the City of Greensburg Sesquicentennial book done in 1949. These records all differ slightly and I am sure they are not complete records. If there is anyone that has additional information we would be most appreciative. Thank you!

I don't know if this will help but found it farther back on this message board: >>>> From: "Marie A Robinson" <DisplayMail('frontiernet.net','marier');marier@frontiernet.net> Subject: [PAWESTMO-L] Old German Cemetery/Old Union Cemetery/Greensburg Cemetery Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 12:16:57 -0500 In trying to unravel the mystery of where our Nicholas Silvius is now buried, after he and his wife, Catherine, were moved from the Old Union Cemetery (a/k/a Old German Cemetery and I've also seen it referred to as Greensburg Cemetery), in Greensburg, Pa., and in looking at the USGenWeb site's URL for some of the inhabitants of the Old Union Cemetery, I see that about 36 names are missing from the site. (URL: http://www.pa-roots.com/westmoreland/townships/hempfield/oldunion.html ). The source of the list at the above URL could have come from anywhere, as these lists get reproduced over time in other publications, I suspect, but I have an alphabetical list that was published in Volume VI, No. 1, of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, March 1915. This publication has virtually the same names and in the same order and format as what is at the above URL (with a few minor typographical discrepancies), but includes 36 more names beginning with the names after Jonathan Sarver Senr, which is what the list at the above URL ends with. Within these 36 names is listed Nicholas Silvius! I haven't typed up the 36 additional names yet but I will if the person in charge of the on-line cemetery listings would let me know. I suspect that the person who submitted the list to the USGenWeb cemetery project had the complete list of names to upload--but the server chewed up the last 36 when no one was looking.
