Old Jewish Cemetery is on west end of Episcopal Cemetery, surrounded
by a galvanized cyclone fence. Just past Episcopal cemetery is Fairview
Cemetery on the right. There are several other cemeteries in this area.
This cemetery was originally started about 1850 and is still active
today. The official name of the cemetery is "Episcopal Cemetery
of Danville, PA." It is unique in that it is the only one there
"surrounded by a black wrought iron picket fence."

and well maintained by Christ Memorial Church, and in excellent condition.
It operates in cooperation with the Trust Officer of the Bank.
This transcription is up to date as of 27 Aug 2002. The transcription

records and two previous surveys. Original transcription was by Ann
Thomas, then Father James Fetterman and again in 2001 by myself.
