TROXEL, TRUXEL PRIVATE CEMETERY
East Huntingdon Township, 
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania

History of Cemetery
This private cemetery has not been used as a burial ground 
since 1862, which is the latest inscription as shown on 
tombstone of Mary Troxel, who died July 13, 1862. 

The farm on which this cemetery is situated was owned by M. 
Troxel in the year 1867, as shown in the Atlas of 
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, from actual surveys and 
under the direction of S.N. & D.G. Beers, published by 
A. Pomeroy, #320 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 1867, and 
entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1867, by A. 
Pomeroy in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of 
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 

The farm now is owned by a Mr. Lemmon (1947), whose address 
is R.D.#2, Mount Pleasant, Penna., and is about one-half 
mile from Mount Pleasant, which road is the main 
thoroughfare between Mount Pleasant and Connellsville, 
Fayette County, Penna.

The cemetery is situated in a field to the right of route 
#819, traveling from Mount Pleasant to West Overton. It is 
enclosed with a cement wall, and is approximately 40ft x 
40ft in size. The stones are in bad condition, many of 
them broken and scaled off; not legible. 

These Cemetery Records were copied November 19, 1946 by two 
Members of Braddock Trail Chapter, National Society, 
Daughters of the American Revolution, Mount Pleasant, Penna. 
and, were typed by Miss Almetta Pearl Gay, #273 East 
Crawford Avenue, Connellsville, Penna.
