Stevens Family Cemetery - Franklin Twp.

Transcribed from tombstones by Ken O'Neal


Directions: From Uniontown, take Route 51 N towards Pittsburgh. About 3/4 mile after passing the Chevrolet car dealer on the left, turn right onto Bitner Road. Go 9/10 mile and turn left onto a narrow lane. Go to the house at the end. The cemetery is on the top of the hill behind the house. Part of the cemetery apparently has been destroyed by strip mining. Reportedly, there were at least 15 stones there about 20 years ago. The ground has been stripped to about 10 feet from the existing stones. Recorded April 26, 2001.
