NEW CEMETERIES   

MONONGAHELA,   
ST. JOSEPH,   
AND ST. THOMAS   

Located at Copeland Station, P.R.R., West Braddock, are most convenient and beautifully laid out grounds; all accommodation trains stop; board walk from station to cemetery; so near that carriages are unnecessary;

B & O, and P. McK. & Y. stations only one-fourth mile distant; price of lots and terms are reasonable; no more desirable burial places in this locality.    Monongahela is a Protestant cemetery;   St. Joseph, German [Catholic],   and St. Thomas, English Catholic.

For further information inquire of H. Williams, Undertaker, Homestead.
