Wertz Cemetery
Also known as Wertz Burial Grounds
Conemaugh Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA
Located in Conemaugh Township, Somerset County, PA. From Ligonier Pike (PA Route 271) take North Fork Dam Road (SR 4029) southeast for about 3/4 mile past the group of homes. After passing the last house on the left proceed for 2/10 mile. The cemetery is on the left side of the road, approximately 100 yards up the wooded hillside and is difficult to find.
UPDATE: November 25, 2014:
Unfortunately, I spent several hours on three different days searching for this with no luck. Several years ago this area was logged and roads were cut zig-zagging all through this hillside. I'm afraid that due to the small size of the site it may have been destroyed. I even enlisted the help of locals with no luck.
Unless someone else has better luck, the photo I took in 1995 may be the last one available. During my last three attempts, I honestly searched the entire mountainside from the top of the mountain to the bottom/road and from the last house, down to 3/10 of a mile, far past the area where I know it was located.
