This cemetery is located behind the HOFFMAN farm
in Oak Hill, Karthaus Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. For reasons
unknown to me at this time, the sign in the front/side of the cemetery
reads, BRIDGEN'S Cemetery, I do not knew when and why this cemetery changed
names from the "Old" Oak Hill, to the Bridgen's. There are more graves in
this cemetery, but the stones are long since gone, the stones that are still
there are in remarkably good condition for the age of them, just a couple
are unreadable, and just a few are broken, and a couple are laying down. The
vets in this cemetery are still honored for there are flags set near
veterans stones. This cemetery I feel is becoming one of the cemeteries that
will be totally forgotten in time, rumors have it that this cemetery was
once much bigger, but when some land was striped nearby allot of the stones
on the one side was pushed under by the dozers. With the records long gone
there is no way to tell how many and who was buried in this cemetery.
