Samuel Saylor Cemetery
Also known as Saylor Cemetery
Conemaugh Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA
****There are only 6 known burials here, all fieldstones, and memorials have been created for all.****
Located in Conemaugh Township, Somerset Co., PA. Take PA Route 985 north to Thomas Mills. At intersection turn left onto Saylor School Road and proceed for 1.4 miles. Turn left onto Wingard Road and travel for 5/10 miles. Just after crossing over Edgar Croyle Road, the cemeter is situated off to the left in the field about 75 yards out. All of the stones are lying flat and the site contains several unmarked fieldstones as well.
I suspect that this site contains the unmarked graves of Henry & Elizabeth (Yoder) Blough.
UPDATE- April 7, 2015:
It's been over 20 years since I have been back to this cemetery and I was totally disgusted by what I saw. This site was allowed to be destroyed by groundhogs. Two of the stones were buried and it was sheer luck that I was able to find and uncover them. One stone I was not able to find. You can see the difference in the condition of the cemetery from the photo I took on March 30, 1995 to when I returned on April 7, 2015.
During my first trip when I still had children at home and photos were taken the old way with film, it wasn't cost effective to photograph individual headstones at the time. Now I wish I would have in this case.
