1. Re: [PA-PHILA-MOUNT-MORIAH-CEMETERY] PA-PHILA-MOUNT-MORIAH-CEMETERY: Andy's plan/eminent domain [1]
Janet, I just checked and found that the search site picked up on the eminent part of the eminent domain bringing up a result from 2005. Apparently eminent domain has never been brought up before.

2. [PA-PHILA-MOUNT-MORIAH-CEMETERY] Row House Blues Now Available [1]
The book Row House Blues is now available at www.bbotw.com and www.amazon.com . Row House Blues is the sequel to Row House Days, published in 2005. These books describe life circa 1955-1970 in the neighborhood that surrounds Mount Moriah Cemetery. The author played in Mt. Moriah as a child, and several of his family members are buried there. Some scenes from these books are set in Mt. Moriah and Cobbs Creek Park. One story recalls the legend of Crazy G

Ancestors? Wouldn't they be dead? Just because they may vote doesn't mean that we can contact them!

Any ancestors of well-placed current Philadelphians that might be contacted to assist the effort?

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll check out the sites. I wonder if there are reasons that opening the question again may be digging up bones that shouldn't be dug up. As I mentioned earlier, I am unfamiliar with the controversy.

There are Moslems buried in many Philadelphia cemteries. Also Buddhists, Atheists, Shintoists, Pagans, Protestants and Catholics, etc. So what? They have to be buried somewhere.

Okay everyone, Calming down would be good right about now (and you know who you are). Try to remember that there are live people with real feelings on the other side reading what you are sending out. I think that we are all getting a little frustrated by all the inaction. SOMEONE needs to be in charge, or a coordinator; whatever. Is ANYONE willing to take on this position? I think this really needs to be someone in Philadelphia, in case any face-to-face meetings need to happen. Send an e-

10. [PA-PHILA-MOUNT-MORIAH-CEMETERY] MOUNT MORIAH [1]
Ive just recently joined the mailing list & have been reading the emails that have been posted. I too have ancestors who are buried there & as I live in Australia its a bit hard to get information as to what plot numbers they are buried in, let alone photos of their headstones (if they even have a headstone?) I joined this list mainly to see if there was anyone else who had the same family names that I do, however, Im reading slinging matches between people on a daily basis & that saddens me greatly.

Gene, The 'Friends of Greenwood' still exists and functions. It would help if prior members and people interested would stay in touch and attend meetings or stop by on a Sat. when I'm there. There is some work getting done and as they say it isn't over till it's over.

Hmmm....I was born and raised in West End (now Cobbs Creek...lah dee dah). I left in 1960 when I married my beloved and abdicated to conservative politics quite different from those of the generations of Irish-Catholic Democrats that course through my veins. How about a list of our deceased loved ones? Imagine the votes we could generate!! Thanks to all of you who are looking for a solution to MM.

Janet, I did get the meaning of your plea for direction, really, I did, and I'm very sympathetic. It isn't that there aren't people up here who aren't creative, thoughtful and energetic. But the situation, at least as I see it, is that the problems of MM are so enormous -- the condition of the place, the huge size of it, the recalcitrance of the owners/managers -- that it's difficult to know where and how to begin. Many of us nearby who care about the place lack legal standing to act; without real,

OK I got 277K pages with information on her, but it is not all the same. ONe says she is the council president... Anyone know her current title and what the correct salutation would be?

Hi, Janet et al. -- Andy Waskie was an early Mt. Moriah advocate and activist. He is heavily involved in Civil War-related projects and I recall that he became aware of Mt. Moriah some years ago because of the Civil War burial sites there. I don't recognize as Andy's the email address you mention. Around the time that we went to work on the documentary, Andy decided to focus his energies on activities other than Mt. Moriah. The others who worked on the film include John Ellingsworth, who tirel

What does Richard Nixon's religion (or anything else about him) have to do with MM Cemetery? Genealogical and Historical ResearchIt brings to mind the common assumption the Richard Nixon was a Quaker, fostered by carefully constructed sentences like those found in his eulogies, the like of ..."his Quaker nurturence." No mention is ever made of the attempt to have him expelled from Meeting. Or the delayed events and unveiling of this memorial that bear the title of The Great Peacemaker. I

Sorry again for being inappropriate. The ability to think outside the box comes with wrapped in verbal inappropriateness. Im just angry and frustrated. As for the Nixon remark, it came out of my private reflection of how to use what I had learned in Rhetoric and Criticism. The remark is without merit otherwise. I was just taking stabs in the dark and looking for an angle. The only other excuse I can offer is the traumatic burial of a brother many years ago on Christmas Eve at MM. In general, I am overwroug

First of all, it's "Muslims," not "Moslems." Second, there's no "suspicion" about it: the Muslim gravesites are visible, dignified, simple and numerous at Mt. Moriah. Third, why on earth would anyone with common sense care whether or not Muslims or anyone else is being buried at Mt. Moriah? Sheesh.

I was looking at the MM website today and came upon this, I had totally forgotten about this; Sadly, even though Mount Moriah Cemetery is a National Historic Landmark and is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, its fate is still in limbo. Mount Moriah Cemetery was placed on Preservation Pennsylvania's Most Endangered Historic Properties List in 2004 and on The Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia's Endangered Properties List in 2005. why can't we contact these two groups and perhaps

We now know the City Council Representative for MM: Anna Verna, President of City Council. To start the ball rolling, I suggest that someone, a Philadelphia resident, preferably from that district, write a letter to Verna describing the situation and what the people think needs to be done and/or find someone from the district to visit her office in the district. Similarly, the same should be done with whatever politician in Delaware County has control of that part of MM. I doubt that anything will resu
