FYI -

If anyone has searched the records at the GSP, please let me know what to expect

I will be going to the Genealogy Society of PA (GSP) in the next two weeks to look at the 3 microfilms they have on Mt. Moriah Cemetery/Burial records. I'm not exactly sure what I will find, but I will make a note of those requests posted already in case I can find the information needed. Also, if you would rather email a request directly, my address is: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Best regards & good hunting,

Looking for Kee Monument PDF Print E-mail
Written by John Ellingsworth   
Wednesday, 07 July 2004
I had no idea when I started my search that it would be so difficult. It seems I am in the same shoes as many other people.

I am looking for the "Kee" monument. My father passed away 2/05 and I found a note he left for me, in his personal belongings. He asked me to visit the "Kee" monument in Mt Moriah. He did sketch a picture of it. For those of you familiar with the cemetery, it looks like one of the tall monuments with 2 layers on the bottom and a cathedral point on the top. I searched by car today, as best I could, but came up empty. My dad took me to that cemetery on a regular basis as a child. I never really questioned why. I thought it had to do with his job (he was in the monument business). Now I realize it was for a different reason. I am trying to find out what that was and what he wants me to see. If anyone comes across the name "Kee", I would appreciate if you would contact me.

Cemetery Tire Roundup, Saturday, August 27 PDF Print E-mail
Written by John Ellingsworth   
Wednesday, 07 July 2004
On Saturday, August 27, I have made arrangements with a local organization to take old tires that can be removed from the cemetery. I will be contacting the cemetery on Monday to see if they would be willing to help in some way. In addition, I am asking others who might be interested in helping to email me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ). I will be using my small car to do this, so if you are the owner of a truck that would be VERY helpful.

This is not a full cemetery cleanup but a TIRE REMOVAL only. Tires are not accepted in normal trash removal, hence the specialty of this event.

Search for Missing Woman 8/18/05 PDF Print E-mail

I happened to go out to MT. Moriah today to pick up the deed to my husband's grave. He is buried on the west side of Cobbs Creek Parkway. As I approached , I saw the channel 3 news van and a group of community men who were standing in the way of the entrance to the graveyard.

I asked where the office was and they responded on the other side of the parkway. To make a long story short, when I returned to the West Side after picking up the deed, the channel 3 cameraman was in the woods taking shots and a few of the young men were walking throughtout the graveyard. I asked what was going on, what were they looking for, they responded, the body of a missing pregnant woman. That was about 3:00.

Had I know the state of affairs at Mt. Moriah, I would have buried my husband somewhere else.
