    TAKEN FROM THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY CEMETERY INDEX: In 1892 
a Notice to the General Public was issued by the Trusteed and Stockholders of the 
West View Land Company stating the necessity for a cemetery for the use of the 
general public in "this part of the county".  The state chartered company, with a 
Capital Stock of $2,000, purchased 13 14/100 acres of land one-fourth pf a mile 
from Bolivar Borough.  One half of the tract was surrounded by a good substantial 
fence, with the main entrance from the township road.  Lots were offered at public 
sale on Saturday, November 26, 1892.  The plan of lots was posted in the United 
States post office buildings in Bolivar, Lockport, New Florence, WEst Fairfield 
and Palmer's Fort, as well as at three stores: Robinson Bros. & Co.' W. McC. 
Hammond; and Reese, Hammond & Co.  The land company had seven Trustees and 
seventeen Stockholders at this time.
