This cemetery is located in Kiskiminetas Township, Armstrong County, PA and it is just up the hill from the tiny village of Edmon. (The map, posted by someone else is accurate) It was started circa 1850-1860 as a Family Cemetery for the Townsend Family, who were prominent landowners in this area. As far as I know, no others, except Townsends are buried here, but that may be in error. The cemetery is surrounded by private property and although Pennsylvania law forbids a landowner to post a cemetery, it would be a good idea to get permission from the landowner...he is more then amenable to cemetery visitors.

Driving directions: From the junction of State Route 819 and State Route 981, in Bell Township, Westmoreland County, PA, drive South on Route 981 a distance of 0.4 miles to the intersection of 981 and Main St., in the tiny village of Salina, PA. Turn left onto main street and drive for 0.5 miles, around the bend, down the hill and turn left onto the bridge over the Kiskiminetas River. (10 Ton weight limit here) Upon crossing this bridge turn right and drive up the hill, out of the village of Edmon, a distance of 0.8 miles and look for a gate across a field entrance, on the left. The next house drive way, on the left, past this gate is the landowner's drive. Obtain permission and return to the gate. Walk past the gate and follow the woodline for about 300 yads and look for the stone wall along the woodline. In driving, if you get to the fork, at Beulah Church Road, you missed this gate by a quarter mile.
