St. Vladimir's Orthodox Cemetery
The "New" Graveyard
Photo Taken by Mike and Debbie Krause

 

We are indebted to our local cemetery research team for the transcription of the "New" cemetery. There are some grave stones here written in Cyrillic script that are not accounted for in Tina's listing, due to the language barrier. In September 2002, Mike and Debbie Krause, assisted by the Reverend Michael Thier, arranged for a transcription of the Russian stones in the "Old" cemetery as a grouping. They are provided at the end of this transcription. A picture of the old cemetery area is also attached at the beginning of the section on the "Old" cemetery below. This old graveyard is actually a totally seperate cemetery seperated by several miles of highway from the new graveyard. According to Father Thier, the "Old" cemetery was given up quite a number of years ago because of the persistent wet conditions that caused the stones and most likely the caskets/vaults to be pushed up slightly to the surface.

We would happily provide additional listings should names and translated inscription be provided. We have added a field note after each listing below, in those cases where additional information has been submitted.

ST. VLADIMIIR’S ORTHODOX CEMETERY LOPEZ, PA Located on "Jackson Hill" (State Route 487), approximately one mile southeast of the town of Lopez, on the east side of the road.
