Sister's of charity cemetery at seaton hill



This cemetery , Est 1889, serves the nuns who died  in the order of Mother Seaton's Sisters of Charity. There are over 890 graves in recent count. Mother Seaton died in 1821, and was buried in Emmitsburg, Pa.  Her legacy for that era rivals Mothers Theresa, and Angelica of the 21st century.

Yesterday our beloved aunt, Sr Helen Elizabeth McElwain age 92 yr 9 mo, was interned there after 75 yrs in the convent.
