Green Mount Cemetery, established 1853, in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, is the final resting place for many of the area's historic families.
Green Mount Cemetery was established by an Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the 15th day of April 1853. Two years later in 1855, surveying was complete for the original property and lots were made available for purchase.
Once established, Green Mount Cemetery fast became Waynesburg's primary burial ground. Two town cemeteries (Commons and Methodist) and several small family cemeteries that were in existence prior to Green Mount's creation were eventually removed to Green Mount as their properties were reclaimed for modern development, ultimately, making Green Mount the most common burial ground for our Waynesburg ancestors.
