Olive Cemetery
Murrysville, Westmoreland County, PA
(Formerly Franklin Township)

This is a small, very old cemetery located on Logan Ferry Road not far from the intersection between Hodson Lane and Logan Ferry Road in Murrysville, Westmoreland County, PA. Route 286 also connects with Logan Ferry Road from the opposite direction. The cemetery grass is in pretty good condition. According to the Murrysville Rotary Club's web site, an annual cleanup is performed. There are a few interments from recent years, but most of the interments date back to the early 1800's. Many of the stones are either broken, partially, or totally unreadable. Transcribed on April 17, 2005.

Reader's please note: Names that appear on the same stone are not separated by a blank line. Surnames appear in capital letters.
