On Saturday, October 24, 2015 the VFW Honor Guard came to the Rumbarger Cemetery to honor James J. Patterson, the first DuBois casualty of World War I. The local VFW post is named for him. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=patterson&GSiman=1&GScid=45938&GRid=46415251&

On August 21st the Penn State students came to help at the cemetery for Penn State Community Outreach Day. We certainly appreciated all they did to help. They added mulch to the entrance, painted the circle and railing around the Childs' Mausoleum and swept the sidewalk along Main Street. We wish them all good luck in their future careers.

Thank you for the kind comments.  We do appreciate all the help we get to restore and maintain this historic cemetery.  It is the history of DuBois.  Many of the hardworking pioneers of our community are buried there and deserve to be remembered.  The DuBois Area Historical Society Lantern Walk will be at Rumbarger Cemetery this October.  More information later.

Here are some more pictures of the work that was done.

I had bread bags too!!  Weren't those the good old days?!

Back then you had snow tires, a shovel, a couple hundred pounds of weight in the trunk, and chains in case you needed them.  Now everyone believes that "all-season" tires will get you anywhere you want to go.
