Taken from the Westmoreland County
Historical Society Cemetery Guide: George Keltz (Kelso), a soldier
of the American Revolution, owned the land where the cemetery is
located. It is said that a family traveling over the Forbes
Road stopped at a local inn where two of their children died.
George Keltz gave them permission to bury the children on a hill
behind the inn on his property. This would have been prior to
1784. |
