I've updated the blog post accordingly. HOWEVER, I still need the names of the incorporators and any other interesting info on both.Rich Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826555565508596486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029355823264054932.post-38773077415661445882015-10-19T11:54:32.964-04:002015-10-19T11:54:32.964-04:00It was brought to my attention (thanks, David D.!)...It was brought to my attention (thanks, David D.!) that the Saints Peter & Paul Eastern Greek Catholic Cemetery in Freeland, Luzerne Co., may be independently chartered/owned. While it shares a name with the former Saints Peter & Paul Eastern Greek Catholic Church (aka Ss. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church) in Freeland, it has also served as the burial place for members of St. Michael Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of Freeland, which was established after the aforementioned parish and cemetery. Saints Peter & Paul parish seems to now be officially closed (it's no longer listed in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA directory), but if the cemetery was completely independent, that shouldn't matter. David reports that a stained glass window in St. Michael's Church was donated by SS. Peter and Paul Cemetery Association in 1940. Perhaps the cemetery has by now been acquired by St. Michael's parish, though. Does anyone know?Rich Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826555565508596486noreply@blogger.com
