CONGRATS TO CHUNKYDUNKSTERS FOR TFTF The Bish cemetery sits alone in the deep woods on the top of Boone Mountain very near to the Clearfield Co., PA border. At one time this area was known as the Bish Settlement, and was a thriving community. However, life on the mountain was hard and in the early 1920’s, the folks living in the Bish settlement began to move off of the mountain down into the towns of Brockport, Brockway, Sabula, and DuBois. The last known burial in this cemetery was that of David Bish, who died in 1936. Special Note: Despite popular local belief, the Bish Cemetery is NOT an indian burial ground nor are any indians buried here. Because of it’s isolation in the woods, the Bish Cemetery has become a popular party haven. In the early 1980’s, the cemetery was severely vandalized by so-called “Satanic Worshipers.” The stones were removed from the graves and placed in the middle of the cemetery in an upside down cross, and the grave of George Shugars was dug up and his skull was stolen. The vandals were arrested, and spent some time in jail. They were also required to clean up the cemetery and replace the stones that they had broken, but the damage to the cemetery had been done. Thankfully, Mr. John Tyger had the forethought to take a reading of this cemetery in 1968.
