Description	:	Russell Snyder, of the Cowansville, PA Cemetery Assn., informed me of this small family cemetery, in September 2009. He states that there are about 10 to 15 members of the Herron Family buried here and that they are the only ones who inhabit this cemetery. There are only two or three identifiable graves here and there are a small number of unmarked graves. This was an old farm, once owned by the Herrons and we are not privy to the land transactions after their demise. This land has been strip mined for coal, at some point... Read More	Russell Snyder, of the Cowansville, PA Cemetery Assn., informed me of this small family cemetery, in September 2009. He states that there are about 10 to 15 members of the Herron Family buried here and that they are the only ones who inhabit this cemetery. There are only two or three identifiable graves here and there are a small number of unmarked graves. This was an old farm, once owned by the Herrons and we are not privy to the land transactions after their demise. This land has been strip mined for coal, at some point however, and it is in the process of regrowth. During any season, in which one may visit, this cemetery will be a very difficult place to find...even with the map. It is in the woods, completely grown over and everything about it is unmarked. Therefore, I will attempt to be as accurate as popssible here: From West Kittanning, PA, at the intersection of State Route 268 and Business U.S. Route 422, drive North and West on PA 268, toward Cowansville. Drive 3.56 miles to the intersection of Route 268 and Bowser Road. (on your left here) At this point, continue on 268, but slow down and when you pass from the open area, into a wooded hillside area, carefully look for a right hand turn, onto a deeply rutted dirt and shale road. This road has a cable across it to block entrance. This will be the Gun Club/4 Wheel Drive Club entrance and it is not marked. (At least not on the day I visited)...Parking is very limited here. This is an unnamed, uphill road and if you get to Boltz Road, about 3/4 mile from this entrance, you have missed this turn and gone too far. Park anywhere you may feel is safe, including the entrance road itself. (you will not be that far away that you cannot move your vehicle if necessary.) Walk, about 150 to 200 yards, to the top of the hill and this is where the cemetery is. If you start down the other side of the hill, you missed it. During the Summer months, the weeds, along this dirt "road," are about 6 to 8 feet tall and will totally obscure these markers from view. However, the cemetery may be visable, from the "road," during the winter months. But there were only two upright markers, on the day I visited, and both were upright only because someone had propped them up with a dead branch. These upright markers will eventually be flat again, in the near future, and, therefore, one may not be able to see them from the road, in any season. The best way to find this place is to follow these unorthodox directions: Once you walk, to the crest of the hill, stop and face straight ahead in the "road;" turn 90 degrees right and face the woods; pace off 15 to 20 good paces straight into the woods; stop; turn 90 degrees to the left and walk parallel to the road until you find the cemetery. (It will be within 100 yds of the top of the hill.) It is pretty thick in there but it is not that hard to walk. (This cemetery is not wheel chair accessable)
