Established in 1864 on land obtained from John Klingensmith and Addison Leech during the Rural Cemetery Movement, this became Leechburg’s cemetery after the original town burial ground on 2nd Street from Center Avenue to Siberian Avenue was moved here. The John A. Hunter Post No. 123 of the G.A.R. was established to receive veterans of the Civil War, and forty-seven Union and two Confederate soldiers are buried here. Veterans of the War of 1812, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War are also laid to rest at this five-acre site, which is the final resting place of many pioneering Leechburg families, including town founder David Leech and early tin-plate manufacturer William Rogers, the first man to use natural gas in the manufacture of iron. Final burial occurred in 1996.
