African-American Settlement in Cambria County

This Settlement was founded in the late 1790's by Edinborough Smith and William Harshberger - whose families have called the Johnstown Area home for over 200 years.

Happy Memorial Day


In honor of the holiday - my home away from home - Browns Cemetery. Thanks to friends and family - we got the old place ready for what used to be known as Decoration Day.
From the planters to the bunting - we have it all decked out!
There are two Civil War Veterans buried here.
John Smith - USCT - 3rd Reg.
John Brown - Co. H - 4 Pa. Cal. 
54th Mass - Glory Brigade
Put some bunting on the wooden fences. It was really windy when I was taking pictures. So it's hard to tell from this shot. 
Thank you to all our veterans past and present...
