    TAKEN FROM THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY CEMETERY INDEX: In 1892 a Notice to the General Public was issued by the Trusteed and Stockholders of the West View Land Company stating the necessity for a cemetery for the use of the general public in "this part of the county".  The state chartered company, with a Capital Stock of $2,000, purchased 13 14/100 acres of land one-fourth pf a mile from Bolivar Borough.  One half of the tract was surrounded by a good substantial fence, with the main entrance from the township road.  Lots were offered at public sale on Saturday, November 26, 1892.  The plan of lots was posted in the United States post office buildings in Bolivar, Lockport, New Florence, WEst Fairfield and Palmer's Fort, as well as at three stores: Robinson Bros. & Co.' W. McC. Hammond; and Reese, Hammond & Co.  The land company had seven Trustees and seventeen Stockholders at this time.
