Time obscures Tract history and vegetation hides from view.... It is believed the burial ground originally had been given by a pioneer EDMUNDSON family. It is located on the hill above the old EDMUNDSON long brick home, between Yough & Mon rivers. The theory is that ALEXANDER EDUMDSON or his parents donated about one acre for sepulcher purposes. ALEXANDER EDMUNDSON was born in 1821 but some of.the tombstones date back as far as 1819. John McClure a relative who lived near took good care of this cemetery until his death in I945 Mrs. Edna Martin of Liberty Boro whose GRANDMOTHER and GRAND­ FATHER... POLLY & JOHN EDMUNDSON are buried here Mrs Sara Sparks Lynch Douglas visited it 1965(?) At this time it vas in fair condition with a sturdy wrought- iron fence surrounding it...together with my niece and nephew ..we copied many of the names & dates from tombstones. Some of my ancestors and immediate family are buried here, being og the McCLURE, Sparks and Lynch lines.
