Tombstone Tuesday ~ Alston Plot at Union Dale Cemetery Pittsburgh

And another set of third-great-grandparents buried at Union Dale Cemetery from my 2017 visit.

There are two long rows of burials. The first five stones, representing six burials, are on the left in the above photograph:

Third-great-grandfather, John Alston, is buried between his first wife (Lilleas Johnston) and his second wife (Marion Slimon). They are surrounded by children, children-in-law, and grandchildren, including children who died young and unmarried.

The second row of burials includes six Alstons and a Ramsey. The first three:

Based on some handwritten notes in my collection, it appears that John Ramsey was a son of Marion Slimon, John Alston's second wife.
