ABOUT THIS CEMETERY:
Green Mount Cemetery was established by an Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the 15th day of April 1853. Two years later in 1855, surveying was complete for the original property and lots were made available for purchase.
Once established, Green Mount Cemetery fast became Waynesburg's primary burial ground. Two town cemeteries (Commons and Methodist) and several small family cemeteries that were in existence prior to Green Mount's creation were eventually removed to Green Mount as their properties were reclaimed for modern development, ultimately, making Green Mount the most common burial ground for our Waynesburg ancestors.
PROVENANCE OF PLAT MAP:
During the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration (renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration) provided jobs by employing individuals to locate and map area cemeteries. As a part of these surveys, workers also listed veterans buried at each cemetery. The Clerk of Courts Office at the Greene County Courthouse in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, holds one set of the plat maps copied from the originals created during this project. In 2019, these maps were subsuequently scanned and researched for the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project.

HENNEN RECORDS CROSS-REFERENCE:
Forty years after the WPA, local genealogist Dorothy Hennen personally visited every Greene County, Pennsylvania, cemetery that she could locate. Her 12 volume series, published in the 1970s, is cross-referenced here to provide a resource for further information regarding location descriptions and lists of burials. These books are available at the Cornerstone Genealogical Society in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
