Hello. I am a native of (and currently living in) Connellsville. I came across your query as I am doing some research on some Gibsons. There was a Quaker cemetery in Connellsville, the land having been donated by John Gibson. But as the Quaker population disappeared the land was sold and the graves were removed to Hill Grove Cemetery in 1901. I tried to find the plot where the newspaper article said the bodies were reinterred (along with the original gravestones) but had no success. A couple photos (Joshua Gibbs Gibson d. 1893 and Ellen Weaver Gibson, his wife, d.1885) show up on the site http://www.pagenweb.org/~fayette/headstones/index.html as being in Hill Grove. But I don't know if they continued as Quakers (Joshua was grandson of John) and were originally buried in the Quaker cemetery.
