Yes,McKeesport was/is serviced by all the aforementioned cemeteries.The
original query asked for protestant burial cemeteries.In the 1900,s
religion & ethnicity did make a BIG difference!Anyone intrested in the
Elizabeth Twp.area,don't over look Dravo cemetery(maintained by the
Eliz.Twp.Historical Society)There are two Lutheran cemeteries located in
Greenock.I have done research in two cemeteries located in Coulter Pa.
One Catholic & one Protestant.the Catholic one is not accessible by car.
