I have two death certificates that state Frederick Donnelly d. Dec. 12, 1849 and Catherine Donnelly died May 1, 1850, both buried in Montrose Cemetery. But the only Montrose Cemetery I know of was started in 1898, Upper Darby, Pa. Anyone know of another Montrose in Phila., Pa.? Thank you, Jane

Jane, Is the cemetery name possibly Monument? If so, it was founded in 1837 on N. Broad St, across from Temple University. When Temple needed more parking, the bodies were removed to another cemetery and buried in a mass grave. Found this on the internet at Rest in Peace: Philadelphia's Lost Cemeteries.
