Bio

11-5-2022:
I retired as the superintendent of Hillcrest cemetery on 9-28-2020 after 26 years. Any cemetery inquiries should be directed to the new part-time superintendent at [email protected]

10-17-23
Today I noticed that someone is making memorials for recently deceased and falsely posting that Hillcrest cemetery is the burial location. Some of the deceased had family buried at Hillcrest (and other cemeteries), and they seem to be assuming that they too will be buried there and they're not. The posted obits make no mention about burial location.

3/29/18 I've contacted several people about their memorials incorrectly stating that someone is buried in Hillcrest cemetery. In some cases my records show the person was buried in Old Clearfield Cemetery.

10/17/16 Yesterday I noticed some errors on this site. First of all there are listings for burials in Clearfield Cemetery; and there is no cemetery of that name in Clearfield. I have found a few of those listings are actually burials in Hillcrest and some are in Old Clearfield Cemetery and others are probably in the other cemeteries in Clearfield. There was even a recent burial in 2015 that listed Clearfield Cemetery but that one wasn't in Hillcrest. There are also listings for Hillsdale Cemetery; which is actually the old Catholic cemetery aka Old Saint Francis Church Cemetery. I noticed that most of the listings for Clearfield cemetery burials have an identical listing for Hillcrest but the people that made the false Clearfield cemetery listing should rectify it.

Hillcrest cemetery opened in 1881 when the old cemetery across the road called 'Clearfield Cemetery' or 'Old Hillcrest' was filling up. So some old obituaries that say a person being buried at Hillcrest Cemetery were actually buried in that old cemetery across the street and we only have records for the people that we buried there but we do not have locations. Someone took the info of the monuments in the old cemetery and gave that info to the Clearfield County Historical Society for their records. So you may want to contact them to see what they have. The person also did this at Hillcrest but listed them with his own made-up section and lot numbers that do not coincide with our records.

***Feel free to copy my pictures. If I have taken a pic of a family stone and you want that on all the memorials for people buried on the lot, then you can copy it and post it on those memorials.***
