REMOVED TO MOUNT MORIAH CEMETERY

From St. Paul's Episcopal Church Cemetery

I was very upset when I saw the condition of Mount Moriah Cemetery, and that was before I knew that Abigail Israel, the beloved sister of my 5th great grandfather Israel Israel, had been removed from St Paul's Cemetery in Philadelphia to Mount Moriah. I decided to honor her by doing this transcription of her tombstone and that of all her fellow �removees� from the St Paul's Church ground where their loved ones, I am sure, expected them to remain in perpetuity. I am hoping this list will help someone else who, like me, is searching for someone lost, but not forgotten. In addition, if one or more of these folks belong in your family tree or you would just like to help to clean up the deplorable situation at Mt Moriah there is a group working very hard to do just that. They would value anything you might be able to do to assist them. This is the most dedicated, nicest group of people you will ever meet. In just a year they have made amazing progress, clearing brush, trees and trash. There is, however, much work still to be done. They need many hands from hard workers to continue. All talents you have no matter how obscure are needed and would be much appreciated.
