JOSEPH BERKEY GRAVEYARD
	
Situated on the R. C. Hoover farm about 1 mile south west of Ashtola 
and about 500 yards north of Roaring Forks, in Paint Twp., 
Somerset Co., Pa.  The graveyard is on top of a hilly field back of 
the farm buildings it can most easily be reached by following the 
right fork of the road at the old stone bridge about a a quarter of 
a mile.  The cemetery is then on the right of  the road, and under a 
large old Hemlock tree in the center of the field.  It is thickly 
overgrown with brambles and has been unused for a number of years.
The graveyard contains 12 unmarked graves, probably those of various 
members of the Berkey and Gordon families. The farm was formerly the 
property of Joseph Berkey, an early settler (who married into the 
Gordon family) and established the plot as a final resting  place 
for the members of his family.
