Dormont, Pennsylvania
ST. CLAIR CEMETERY
The earliest grave found here was lain in 1812.  However, this is from a survey of legible gravestones in 2004.  
Supposedly there were ten Revolutionary War veterans buried here but only three have been positively
identified: Nathaniel Plummer, James Glenn & John Henry.
The last burial took place in November, 2003.
Many of those buried in St. Clair Cemetery are the people who carved out the community we now call
Dormont and that could not have been easy, as the book "The History of Allegheny County with
Illustrations," published in 1876, makes clear: "Wild beasts were particularly troublesome in this
township at that time (before 1800) and it was almost impossible to protect domestic animals from their
ravages. The howls of the wolves at night were fearful, and they prowled close to cabin walls. Panthers
dropped upon the unwary traveler from the trees and the bears were so bold as, on one occasion, to
walk indoors and take possession of a log house."
