Tombstone Tuesday ~ Lysle Plot at Union Dale Cemetery Pittsburgh

The last plot we visited during our August 2017 visit to Union Dale Cemetery in Pittsburgh was the Lysle family plot, burial location for yet another pair of second-great-grandparents, a pair of third-great-grandparents, and a fourth-great-grandmother.

In the middle of the obelisk is the name Lysle:

The plot has nineteen gravestones.

The row with the obelisk appears to include three burials:

John W. Lysle	Location	Margaret J. Lysle	Lieut. James M. Lysle
August 1' 1826	of	1839-1868	1831-1862
June 22' 1879	Obelisk	-	-

~~~~~~~~~

The next row has four burials. (Isabel was born a Lysle, and lived as a widow with her unmarried sisters, Caroline and Eliza after her husband died.)

April 10' 1886.	-	-	-

The next row has seven burials. The three on the left are Addison, buried between his second wife, Maria, and his first wife, Annie:

Maria B. Lysle	Addison Lysle	Annie Haslen Lysle
1850-1920	1833-1908	1848-1870

The four burials on the right of this row are:

* Mary Lysle is my fourth great-grandmother. It is believed that her maiden name was Wilson.
George and Margaret are my third great-grandparents. Margaret's maiden name was McIlwaine.

The "front" row, furthest from the obelisk has five burials. My second-great-grandfather, George Lysle Jr., is buried between his two wives, Marion Helen Alston and Edith Hadly.
