Old Claysville (Purviance) Cemetery is located off Rt. 40 on the west end of Claysville, Pennsylvania behind the Methodist Church.
It is a combination of a transcript taken by Miss Eva Johnston & Elizabeth B. Weaver on Jun 22, 1937 (which is located in the Citizen's Library in Washington, Pennsylvania) as well as additions and a few corrections I made as per a personal visit to the cemetery in Jun of 2000. I will hopefully be returning in the fall and can further verify the transcript as well as pick up any additonal stones not included in this transcript.
