  • Connell Family Plot, Hopewell-Hebron Cemetery

    Illegible tombstone

    The monument above is illegible, but it sits in a plot with the Connells, and it may be the founding matriarch or patriarch. Other Connells have been buried under a variety of stones at different times.

  • Hopewell-Hebron Cemetery, Findlay Township

    Hopewell-Hebron Cemetery

    A cemetery at the far western edge of Allegheny County. It was incorporated in 1906, but the eastern half of it appears to have been the churchyard of Hebron Presbyterian Church, with burials going back to the middle 1800s.
