Near the top of the hill of Mt. Lebanon Cemetery is a row of graves for the
Charnes Family. The grandchildren of John and Julie Ann Charnes begin the
row. John and Julie are buried there; next is Nathan Charnes, then the
Hoggatt family. Leonard and Julie Ann Wininger Charnes are buried further
down the hill. Also buried in the Cemetery are Josiah Harris and Milla Ann
Morgan Charnes. Under the tree are the graves of the Harris Charnes
family, this is John Samuel's son and the Jesse Charnes children. Jesse is
the son of John Samuel Charnes. My dad has many memories of his uncles but
he was a very small boy when they died. I have been checking sources
before I have added his information to the other stories.
