The Civil War era cemetery in Beaver Brook PA, once St. Patrick's Irish Catholic Cemetery of the parish at nearby Yorktown.There are names and dates here from the early 1800s. Last burials date to the 1920s and the cemetery, gone to overgrowth and ruin in the last fifty years, has lately been cleared of undergrowth by the diocese of Scranton. Beaver Brook, once named Frenchtown, is one of the older mine patchtowns of the region. The similar now vanished Yorktown exists as a rugged terrain of reforesting pits and strip mines beginning at the right hand extent of the picture and extending into the distance to the northern boundary of McAdoo, PA. |
