Wattersonville Cemetery

Wattersonville Methodist Cemetery

THE WATTERSONVILLE CEMETERY, although not in Bradyï¿½s Bend Township, lies
just a few miles downriver from the town of East Brady, on the Armstrong
County side of the Allegheny River.

Ann M. Brooks of Syracuse, New York wrote to us in 1999 when she came into
possession of a listing of the cemetery. She graciously shared it with
us, and we reproduce her letter here. We did not take any pictures, but
you may visit the cemetery by following Route 268 toward Kittanning, turning
left just before Cowansville, where a sign directs you to Sherrett and to Lock
9 and the power station. This is a scenic, winding road, and unless you
have traveled it before, you will fear that you have lost your way several
times before arriving at the cemetery. However, take heart and follow the
marina signs. You will also see a sign for the Wattersonville Methodist
Church, where the cemetery is located. Services are still held in this
church, and the cemetery is tended and accessible. Most of the dates are
from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s.

We thank Ms. Brooks for her information and hope it is helpful.
