Directions: This burial site is located on the south side of Rt. 21, across from the McClellandtown Volunteer Fire Hall, in the woods next to parking lot for the George J Plava Elementary School. There is a Historic Gravesite sign at the entrance to the school and a sign along the woods on the north side of the parking lot. The gravesite has a white fence around it and there is a small, square stone in fence, but I could not see an inscription. The area is surrounded by poison ivy.
