Benezette Cemetery, Benezette Township, Elk Co., PA as read and contributed by Jim Burke and others September 2008. I've modified this listing based off other information available ( like veterans burials here and other available info-from Sherry Jesberger- and personal knowledge,and most recently based on permission thanks to Sally and Iris Caskey from their Cemeteries and Burial Plots of Elk County Pennsylvania). This listing is not necessarily an exact translation of the gravesite transcriptions because of these changes and many of these gravestones are very difficult to read or unreadable. But the intent is to share those that I can best identify as being buried here. If you have other information that was missed or misread please let me know.
Benezette Cemetery is located in Benezette on route 555 on the hillside just to the left of the old Benezette School N41 18'51'' w78 23'15''
