The history of the cemetery is mostly lost, the Hill Family owned the property and have the most graves there. It could be the only cemetery in the area and was a community wide burial site. Most of the neighbors were also related to the Hill Family.
The Sober connection is that Daniel N Sober bought the property in 1909 from the Hill family and forever after was called the Sober-Hill Cemetery.
The Sober Hill Cemetery is located on the (Old Hill Family Farm) off State Route 2082, also known as (The New Schenley Road) in Gilpin Twp, Armstrong Co., PA.
The cemetery is a distance directly behind the Hill Farm house, which is located on the (now Sober Road) as known as the Old Schenley Road.
There are two levels to this cemetery, the first one is on the very top of the hill with at least seven graves,and there are more unmarked graves located there.
The second one is a small distance down the hill with at least four burials, and there are more unmarked graves located there.
The Sober Hill Family Farm is located on the Old Schenley Road, (now called Sober Road), about 1/4 mile from junction of Sober Road and Bagdad Road.
This is the house started in 1848 by John Squire Hill and finished by his son, Daniel Hill & wife Elizabeth Jane Kuhns Hill in 1849.
This farm was bought by my Great Grandfather, Daniel Newton Sober in 1909 at a sheriff sale for taxes
The photo was taken about 1925, it was called (The Kiski Diary Farm) then.

You might wish to note that the marker for John Hill is the large square base to the right of the marker leaning up against the tree. This base had a large obelisk type stone on it and it is laying, to the right of the base. The marker leaning up against the tree is Harriet Hill and Elizabeth Hill's marker is under the brush, in the fork, of the downed tree. Basically this is all that is left of the Sober Hill Cemetery.
