Hi Joyce,
I went to this cemetery to get some information
for some friends from Sullivan County Web Site and it was so small, I read
the whole thing. It is another case where stones have been broken,
removed or just lost. So sad. I am going to send you the information
that I got. Use it on the site if you want to. I was very careful
and checked and re-checked myself both in reading and typing.

McGOVERN CEMETERY
OVERTON TOWNSHIP
BRADFORD COUNTY
PENNSYLVANIA
This cemetery is another sad story in the way stones have disappeared and been let go to the point that they are almost unreadable. There were four tall monuments (I think) and just a few stones. I tried to get everything that was readable and had to work hard at a couple. I will not list this as I normally would a cemetery.
