Union Dale Cemetery, the final resting place of many former
residents
of Allegheny City (now the North Side), is located along Brighton Road
in the North Side of the City of Pittsburgh.
*Originally known as Mount Union Cemetery (Division One), which was founded by
members of the First Associate Reformed Church, this cemetery was
opened to all denominations. Nine years later another cemetery was
opened across the road by the name of Hilldale Cemetery (Division Two). In 1867, the trustees
of Mount Union bought the Hilldale grounds, consolidated the two
cemeteries into one, and re-named it Union Dale Cemetery, preserving
some of the original names. A few years later, additional property (Division Three) was purchased.

NOTE: Each "Division" has
it's own set of Sections.
Each Section
has been alphabetized.
There is a published reading (several volumns) of this cemetery
available in the Pennsylvania Room,
at Carnegie Library in Oakland. Due
to copyright restrictions we are unable to re-produce the printed
version of that reading here, BUT, through your
help, and other volunteers we
can compile OUR OWN reading
and post it here for everyone.
