There were 2 cemeteries - one is Doylestown and one at 21st and Diamond St., Phila. My ancestors were in the Phila. one, burials from late 1880's to 1918. All were moved to Lawnview Cemetery which is in Rockledge, Montgomery Co., PA on May 23, 1951. Apparently in 1950, the City decided the site of Old Fellows would be better used as a low income housing project. All remains were removed and reinterred at other cemeteries. The city had contacted my great uncle who was the owner of the plot at Old Fellows.

Unfortunately, not all the bodies were removed and some of them surface from time to time.
