Fry Hill cemetery was established around 1880 on land owned by the Whitebreast Coal Company,  The first burial of a mine accident victim is believed to be that of Shadrach Fry, hence the name of the cemetery,  Cleveland Fry Hill.  It is now maintained by the township.

Frank Myers has an article about this cemetery on his blog Lucascountyan.blogspot.com.  Click here:
