School House Hollow or McCloskey Cemetery, Chapman Twp., Clinton County, PA.

A very old cemetery on private property along Route 120, apox. ½ mile east of the Hyner Bridge. As recorded by Justin Houser, Jerry McCloskey, Dave Wallace on 26 June 1999. Only one tombstone faces North, all the remaining seem to face South, or towards the Susquehanna River. We believe the bodies

Lie behind the marked stones, as 4 to 6 additional depressions are visable as well as 3 maybe 4 small mountain stone markers, embedded into the ground. It is likely that Felix and Rachael (Evans) McCloskey are among these unmarked graves. At first these were thought to be the foot stones of Abner and Nancy McCloskey, BUT their foot stones were found in the weeds, as well as maybe 2 plot markers, or footstones with out engravings. Existing property owner keeps cemetery area mowed nicely.
