Beulah Land

We spent many a night playing up there as kids and never seemed scary to me but then it was in my backyard and we were used to all the noises and sometimes silence. That was 35 odd years ago. We used to read all the gravestones and try and find the oldest one. when you turn up the drive on the left is old gravestones covered with brush. I do not know if they have cleaned this area up but I am sure there are some of the oldest headstones there.

 

If you go past the cemetary towards the water tanks(tank now) before there used to be two there is some awesome blackberry hunting.

 

I would be willing to go up there some evening and spend sometime to check on the orbs.

My parents are from DuBois and Reynoldsville and I am looking for a grave of my great-uncle Clement Hergenroder.  He was born in Rathmel, lived on Dutchtown Road, and died around 1914.  Can anyone tell me if there is a list of names for those buried at Beulah?

 

Thank you.

I have a friend who goes there at night and she has many many pictures of orbs. My great grand father is buried there and she showed me a picture of an orb in front of his stone that has a similar image of him in the orb.

I looked in my Tombstone Hoppin' books and the only two listed by that surname, in either book, are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery (Rte 950) near Reynoldsville. If he was of the Catholic faith perhaps the church in Reynoldsville may be able to help you locate his burial place.

Probably about 10 years ago or so I was up there at night trying to capture some video and just see what I could see, and the police showed up because the adjacent houses seen my headlights and called them. Yes unfortunately there have been a lot of beer and other kind of parties up there, grave stones kicked over and some actually removed. One year a long time ago me and a friend went up there just to walk the path to the water shed, and when we got to the main entrance and parked we seen a bunch of idiots must have had an all night binger up there because several graves had garbage, beer bottles, cigarette packs and other disgusting things I won't mention littered all over them. We went to what was then called Riverside where we worked, and bought a bunch of trash bags, gloves and a pooper scooper and spent the rest of the day cleaning up the mess. I remember someone came up and thought we made the mess and yelled at us for it.  We had to explain to him why we were there and what we were doing instead.  What really pissed us off is that we noticed the graves that were littered were people that were police or in the military. So I really can't blame people for calling the cops when they see headlights going up there at night time.

Well thing is there has been a lot of damage caused by idiots partying up there, burning flags, stealing things off of the sites and littering so its no wonder people around there watch it. I am glad they do as i have 4 loved ones burred up there. I am afraid to even put anything on my loved ones grave because they have been broken and or stolen.

It's heart breaking that there is so much lack of respect for people even for the deceased today. I can put up with a lot but the desecration of a grave I won't tolerate. Beulah is such a nice cemetery too, with a lot of history and like all it deserves respect and not to be destroyed. I won't even say any "curse" words of any kind no mater how small. I was always told since I was a little kid that inappropriate language of any kind can upset any spirits that are there. I'm not sure if that's true but I live by that rule.
