Latitude: 401547N, Longitude: 0795458W
Located in Southwestern Pennsylvania near the Monongahela River valley, in Calamity Hollow, near the communities of Floreffe, West Elizabeth and Elrama. From the Borough of West Elizabeth, take Route 837 South to the first traffic signal. Turn right onto Walton Road. You will see the Floreffe Hotel on your left and a power substation on your left. On your right, across from the substation, you will see a small community park and a small green road sign that says "Lobbs Cemetery." Turn right at the sign and park by the pavilion. There is a footbridge across the creek (Lobbs Run) and an asphalt path that leads up the hill to the cemetery.

all visible gravemarkers -- approx. 90% of the gravesites are unmarked.
This list is in
the order in which the gravemarkers were recorded, roughly from the front
of the cemetery to the back.
I have additional information on some of the people listed here. Please

I can also provide photographs
of the cemetery and individual gravesites.
