The Bell Hill Cemetery is an African-American cemetery. It appears that it is
abandoned and is no longer in use. It is in poor shape with many sunken graves.
Many of the graves are unmarked or just have a piece of fieldstone to indicate a
grave is present. It appeared that it hadn’t been cleaned off in 2 or 3 years.
We mowed it during our visit the best we could.

Before picture

After picture

In this transcription is indicated many of the unmarked graves, but there are
many more in the cemetery based on the visible outline of a sunken grave.

To get to Templeton, when you get into Kittanning, you want to be on Market
Street. This is the street that runs straight through town. It’s a straight line
from the bridge to the courthouse. After you go up past the courthouse, the road
makes a Y. You want to follow the left side of the Y. This will put you on
Johnstown Ave. Keep going straight following the river. If you keep on this
road, it will take you directly into Templeton. I think it is about 7 miles
There is a railroad bridge that goes over this road and after you go under it,
the road will bend to the right. Go right and keep following the road. Right
before you start down into Templeton, you will go down a big hill. When you get
into Templeton, there will be a row if houses on the left and right, There will
be a blue house on the left hand side at the end of the row Follow the road down
the hill to the right and around the turn at the bottom of the hill. The
playground will be on the left. Stay on this street till you come to the Church
of God which sits on the left of the toad.

Turn left at the church and you will start up a hill.

As you start up the road, there will be a street that goes to the right (it is a
very steep street) with a sign for Bell Town Rd. Turn right onto this street and
follow it up. There is a house at the end of it, just before the house turn left
and follow the “lane” (it’s a Township Road). It is more like a path
than a road and you might think you are driving into someone’s yard.

The “lane” dead-ends at the cemetery.

Along the lane leading back to the cemetery are the foundations of many of the
homes of the former residents of this community. There are three Civil War
veterans buried here.
