Lost Resting Places: Brua Family Cemetery

Brua Cemetery

      I had recently wrote a blog about the Bura Family of Franktown and the remnants of their mansion and orchard. Upon researching the families property I found out they had a family cemetery but failed to find the location. Finally, I have was able to track down this elusive cemetery. The grave yard sits a short walk from the foundations of the Brua home. You can also get to this cemetery by parking along Locke Mt. Road and walking up a hill to a grove of pine trees. Not many monuments are left, and many of the markers are fieldstones. The cemetery is in disarray but at one time was the main cemetery for Frankstown until the Geeseytown Cemetery was built. As always, if you plan to visit this resting place be respectful.
