This church yard cemetery is located near St. Marys, Pennsylvania. The cemetery is located at St. Mary's Church, and contains over 100 headstones ranging in date from the 1800's until present day. In front of the Church there is a Pennsylvania Historical Marker that states:
St. Mary's Church Parish organized 1847 at Sartwell in the "Irish Settlement," originally formed 1842-60. Log church built 1848; present one completed 1871. Resident pastor long served Roman Catholics throughout McKean and Potter counties, and this was the "mother church" of those at Port Allegany, Bradford, Smethport, Eldred, Duke Center, and Costello. It later became a mission of St. Raphael's at Eldred.
