Clearfield County is home to 31 Volunteer Fire Depts, several Emergency Medical Services, and is full of “hometowns” who have taken the time to honor their fallen and living veterans through monuments.
Come & cache Clearfield Co. to learn about all the men and women of the armed forces, fire personnel and EMT’s who voluntarily enlisted themselves to serve the citizens of the U.S., the state of PA and their hometowns of Clearfield Co. with honesty, faith, compassion, courage and integrity and to uphold the Laws of the Constitution of the United States of America.
This cemetery is the final resting place of many veterans. Take time to look around and you will be amazed at the many decorated military heroes and officers. You will also notice a large mound of grassy sod. This is the former site of the Mt. Carmel Church. The church was destroyed by fire on September 18, 2004. It was built in 1903 to replace the original building that was also destroyed by fire in 1900.
