Conneaut, Ohio History & Genealogy

 


Old Grove Cemetery
aka Ye Old Cemetery
West Springfield, Pennsylvania
Located on Route 20 just East of the Route 20 - Route 5 split.

I didn't get full information on the stones and I didn't get them all as some were pretty worn down but maybe later I will go there with the proper supplies and get a detailed list of who is buried there and all available information.

Special Thanks to Don Bennett for providing the name of this Cemetery

Updated July 26, 2009

Good Luck....
