Bentley Cemetery

Bentley Cemetery, Bentleyville, Washington Co.

Cemetery Census by Helen Grayce Petrick Ezarik - Sept 10, 2000

The cemetery is overgrown with weeds, the foundation for the wrought iron fence is  sunken and leaning. There are 6 iron fence posts that are rusting, and the fence is gone. It sets on a bank, 30 feet from the road and is located on James Street Extention, in Bentleyville, Washington County PA. I can remember going in the gate, as a young girl, the tall trees are gone, and the ground is sinking. It sits in a mowed field.
