Graceland Cemetery at the eastern end of Baily
Road in Yeadon has been called Mt. Moriah
North. According to the sign, it was established
in 1774 and is the first public cemetery in what
would become Delaware County. Claimed
resting place of more than 1600 Civil War
Soldiers, there is ongoing research to see if
some of those soldiers were patients at either
Summit Army Hospital (70th and Woodland)
or Satterlee General Army Hospital (45th and
Chester).
