Description	:	Hines Cemetery is located on top of the hill behind Avonmore, Bell Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It is an old cemetery, and I am told that the cemetery is in poor condition, although the borough of Avonmore has considered appropriating funds to restore it. If you look at a the 7.5 minute USGS topo map 0.3 miles south of Avonmore, way up on top of the hill right beside the water tanks on the map, you will see a tiny cemetery with no name.

Read More	Hines Cemetery is located on top of the hill behind Avonmore, Bell Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It is an old cemetery, and I am told that the cemetery is in poor condition, although the borough of Avonmore has considered appropriating funds to restore it. If you look at a the 7.5 minute USGS topo map 0.3 miles south of Avonmore, way up on top of the hill right beside the water tanks on the map, you will see a tiny cemetery with no name. The map shows a small dirt road leading up to the water tanks. According to the map, if you are standing at the water tanks, you will need to walk a short distance further to the southeast to get to the cemetery. The map is probably 40 years old, but it does show tree cover over the entire cemetery and surrounding area. In July of 2007, I checked accessability to the cemetery. The road leading up to the water tower is 5th Street and then 5th Street Extension, but when you get partway up the side of the hill there is a gate on the road and a "no Tresspassing" sign. So you will probably need permission from the city of Avonmore to use this route. Also, you will need to park in Avonmore itself because there is nowhere to park along 5th St. Extension since it is private property. I checked out access by 6th and 7th Streets, but they weren't any better. The dirt roads lead back, but there is nowhere to park. You would have to park at the athletic fields and then walk over private property to get back to the water tank. Even if you take the access road off of 5th St., you will have a walk up the gravel road that rises about 140 feet which is a lot of vertical height. There are rumors that there is a man who lives beside the cemetery who chases people off with a shotgun. [Alan Saltsman, December 12, 2009]
