Cemetery Census contributed by Linda Day Vourlogianes

HAZELKIRK (Van Voorhis) CEMETERY

Cemetery is located in Hazelkirk, Carroll Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, 1/4 mile south on Shannon Road.  The cemetery is on a hill to the east of this road.  It is high on a hilltop overlooking Hazelkirk.  Coming from Monongahela, take LR route 62175 west, then LR 62016 (bears to the right former LR
62175).  This will lead you into the village of Hazelkirk.  Cemetery may be seen from the eastern approach to the village - south side of the road.

"History of Washington County, Pennsylvania," Boyd Crumrine, page 695:

Van Voorhis family - "A spot of ground was selected by Daniel Van Voorhis overlooking Pigeon Creek long ago for his remains and those of his kindred.  Four generations of the name are in that cemetery, incorporated and made perpetual by the laws of the land."

Cemetery census has been taken at least three times.  These records have been combined and placed here.

                           information (bracketed).
