Although there are over 1,900 people buried here, there are only a few named stones. The small white building at the front of the cemetery contains a memorial listing the names of all known burials. The building is closed up in the winter to protect the memorial from the weather, but a listing of the internments can be found at https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2188053/memorial-search?page=1#sr-30395007.
Prior to being transferred to private operation and renamed as Cambria Care, the adjacent complex to the west had been known as Laurel Crest Manor, the Cambria County Home, the Ebensburg Almshouse, or simply the Poor House, when it was opened in 1857.
This cemetery served Cambria County's poor, indigent, and those who had otherwise been abandoned by their families. Therefore, most of the known burials are marked only by small numbered stones. It still hosts several burials per year. Please be respectful of those lying at rest here, including numerous veterans.
The Home began as the three-story central part of the nearby large building currently housing the Domestic Relations offices and had 57 rooms. The site included two farms in 1905, which were worked by those of the 135 residents who were physically able. Two wings were added to the main building in 1911, and the main hospital (Adelphoi Village building?) was constructed in 1928.
The more modern T-shaped building was built in 1954 at a cost of 1.2M and the five-story tower was built in 1977 at a cost of $13M. At its peak it housed over 700 residents, but was averaging just over 200 prior to its transfer to Grane Healthcare in 2010.
