Oak Hill Cemetery in McKean County

Apologies for the length.Oak Hill is an amazing place. Beautiful and peaceful. Ive spent a lot of time here ( standing in it nowrecently due to moving across from the cemetery.It is an absolute shame that much of it is in such a neglected state. I have come across a few burial sites completely taken over by nature. Headstones buried that look like simple stones at first glance. It saddens me , angers me, and makes me wonder why. I found headstones, and I believe, parts of a mausoleum plowed into the outer woods! ( as an addition, knowledge, & to not sound as I was throwing accusations...Perhaps the items in the woods are retired markers, headstones, etc.)Im sure I shouldnt have spied any of that.The history, people, and beauty of Oak Hill should be things cherished, passed on, and kept in upstanding conditions!I couldnt imagine coming to pay respects to someone resting here and finding... This...or their names forgotten, resting places and markers plowed into the ground like overgrowth.That all said, I also know and understand there is no, nor ever has been an upkeep account or fund. That mandate wasnt in existence when Oak Hill was founded.I will keep enjoying my time here but remain melancholy at its despair.

Sad and sorry shape. Roads impassable with mud holes, poor upkeep, and no care for the dead. Scarry to take children to visit grandparents graves for fear of falling into holes, broken stairs and falling cement retaining walls. Such a shame and black spot on a city that should care for their dead.

This place is a cemetery. It doesnt matter if the roads are narrow or not, it is a place to honor the dead.

love it bruv

You must be in excellent physical shape to go there. It is huge and roads are narrow with deep ditches on the sides.Impossible place to gind a grave. The stones are corroded and tipped over. Many deceased have no marker at all. Literally no hrlp to be found. Wrights monuments manages the cemetery and tried to help but couldnt.
