Situated on the farm of M. Derencin about 40 rods on a high hill at edge
of the field next to the buildings, Somerset Twp., Somerset County, PA.

You will pass LaRue’s Meat Market on your right. Go approximately
one mile past the meat market. Turn right onto Pine Tree Road. Go up Pine
Tree Road to the top of the hill about 0.1 mile past Big Pine Road. Pull

to the top of the hill. Look toward your right across the open field.
You will see a small hill covered with trees. The cemetery is on this
hill under the trees. Walk across the field to reach the cemetery. It
is in very bad condition due to the age of the stones and the ravages
of the elements. The last person was buried there in 1913 (Walter). Many
stones are unreadable, fallen or broken by falling trees and age. Directions
provided by Mary Lorena Hague who obtained them from Fred and Dolly Derencin.
His father owned the farm and Fred was raised on that farm. The Derencin
Farm is now owned by the Ravella family.- April, 2003.
