• Lafayette Cemetery:
       Non-sectarian cemetery at 10th & Federal Streets, Philadelphia. [Do not confuse the name "Lafayette" with the section of land owned by Brith Achim in the MT LEBANON CEMETERY on Lafayette Avenue and Bartram Road].
       Based on a telephone interview with Jack Livezy, owner of King David Memorial Park, a clerk at the Rosedale Memorial Park and a librarian at the Levittown Currier Times: The Lafayette Cemetery moved all of its remains to a cemetery in Trevose, Bucks County called Evergreen Memorial Park. Evergreen split into two separate cemeteries. King David Memorial Park is Jewish while Rosedale Memorial Park is non-sectarian. Rosedale is listed in the classified yellow pages as Trevose Road and Oakford Rd (Oakford Rd is off Richlieu Road) in Ben Salem, (215) 357 0308. Adjacent to Rosedale Memorial Park is an independent section called Lafayette, which represents the remains that were removed from the original Lafayette Cemetery in downtown Philadelphia. The clerk mentioned that access to Lafayette is through a Board of Directors. The Historical Society of Philadelphia has records for Lafayette Cemetery, listed in the unpublished card catalog under "Cemetery-Lafayette," [Ph/45A:1-5]. HSP also has author, Edwin S. Dunkerly (7, p175) who addresses Lafayette.
       Articles: Jack Livezy referred to Adam Bell as the reporter who did a series of articles on the Lafayette Cemetery for the Levittown, Pennsylvania Currier Times newspaper, (215) 949-4000. The private library collection of the Currier Times is on microfilm at Bucks County Community College Library, Newtown PA; and at the Grundy Free Public Library in Bristol on Radcliffe Street near the Delaware River. In 1988, no fewer than 27 articles were written on Lafayette, with more in 1990 and 1991. One article read that "47,000 bodies were abandoned in 1946 from the 107 year-old cemetery, which was originally located at 10th & Wharton Streets, Philadelphia County, until Sept 12, 1946." The librarian at Currier Times is Susan Ditterline. Other newspapers picked up on the story: The Philadelphia Bulletin , and The Philadelphia Inquirer .
