Taylor Cemetery

TAYLOR CEMETERY
also called Turtlepoint Cemetery
Turtlepoint PA
Annin Township McKean Co.

The land for the cemetery was provided by William (Willard) H Taylor. He wanted the back of the cemetery to be used for family members and the front portion used by the public. Many of the stones have been disturbed and a small pile of stones lay at the foot of a tree. A school house was there and now a church sits on the front part of the property. I have an overhead photo of the church which shows a cluster of trees behind the church. The cemetery is located under the trees you can see in the photo. The cemetery is overgrown so the stones were under the weeds that have grown up. The photo that I have of Martha's stone has Martha's age and death date on one side and W H Taylor's info on the other side. It is a very tall stone, the largest one in the cemetery. It is located near the dry goods store that Nathan and George ran in Turtlepoint.

The first photo is of Martha's side of the stone. The second is of one of the old fence posts in the cemetery. The third is of the sign in front of the church built on the front part of the cemetery. The fourth is of an overhead view of the church. The cemetery is in the patch of trees behind the church. It is in the center and left side of the bunch of trees behind the church. If someone wanted to visit the cemetery, they should park in the church parking lot and climb the hill around the left side of the church into the trees.
