Mt Tabor Cemetery
Red Bank Township
Armstrong County Pennsylvania

Mt. Tabor Cemetery Cemetery, Armstrong Co., PA EST. 1868 (Dry Ridge) This area
which is named Dry Ridge, was originally the sight of the Dinger School in the
early 1800’s. In 1868 the first recorded interment was made at this locality,
thus established the Mt. Tabor Cemetery. The first church being Mt. Tabor
Church was built in 1878 and stood near the main entrance to the cemetery. The
Mt. Tabor Cemetery has stood the test of time and still continues to serve
this area today. In 1996, through the efforts of the James R. Doverspike
Family the cemetery was restored to its original beauty for all future
generations. (Inscribed stone). (This cemetery is one of the most beautiful
small cemeteries I have entered. It sits on a hilltop, looks across ridge
after ridge of rolling hillsides, and has been given extremely unusual care.
The Doverspike Family is to be commended for their interest and care. Linda M.
Stitt, transcribed May 7, 2000).
