I found a document listing the names of the people buried in the Georgetown Cemetery. Names and dates will be entered into an MS Office Excel 2003 spreadsheet so that the data can be searched and sorted. The earliest burial date listed was 1795. On 24 Apr 1968 the Georgetown Cemetery Maintenance Association was chartered according to the document. The document is 30 pages. It is unsigned.
Oddly the first reported burial in the Georgetown Cemetery was James Clark. He was reported to have been the last white man killed by Indians in Beaver County. In 1792 he was shot in what would later become Smith’s Ferry. That burial predates the establishment of the cemetery according to the found document.
For thoses of you who dig graveyards (sorry about that) Georgetown Cemetery is the place to go to research the names of Georgetown people since the late 1790′s.
