   I am not sure if this cemetery has a name, it's very small and been deserted for years.   I call it the Stewart cemetery because the majority of headstones have the name Stewart on it.    It is located in Bradford twp., near Bradford cemetery, just past a new home development called "Bradfort Heights".  Clearfield county.

My interest in the cemetery is due to the fact that my g-grandmother Buck (maiden name Doney), would walk to the cemetery and maintain the graves, pull weeds, clear brush and etc.   I feel there must be a connection there for her to have done this.   Anyway, the cemetery is in very bad shape.   overgrown with weeds, sunken graves and headstones falling over and some almost impossible to read.  I felt that if I didn't go there now and transcribe it, the names will soon be lost.   I did this on August 30, 2002.   Gloria Gloss

One large monument with the following names written on it:
Stewart, Archabald, born 01/20/1820, died 02/15/1857
Stewart, Martha, born 05/07/1855, died 04/18/1861
Stewart, William, born 01/15/1847, died 07/13/1864
Stewart, Margaret, born 07/28/1853, died 07/23/1865
Beside the large monument to the right were 3 small stones, could not read names.

This is a complete listing as far as the count of headstones, some smaller stones were so badly sunk that it was totally impossible to read the name if time hadn't erased it.   Also, this cemetery is in an area that has seen some development lately and I wonder if it is in danger of being totally destroyed.
The above listing is all I could record.
