About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery was for the students who died at the school at the Jumonville school for orphans of soldiers of the Civil War. It operated from 1868 to 1908. During that time, 33 students died. If a family wished, the body would be returned by train, to his home community. There were no records kept of students who died or ones that are buried there.

There is one stone, placed there by the Orphans' School Reunion. The inscription reads, "Here are buried a number of the 33 students of the Jumonville Soldiers' Orphans School who died between Sept. 1866 and May 31, 1908"

Directions: From Uniontown go east on Route. 40 up the mountain to the Summit Hotel. At the blinking light in front of the Summit Hotel, turn left on Jumonville Road. Go 2.9 miles and bear right into Jumonville Christian Camp. Go to the office (724-439-4912) for permission and directions/tour.
