South Hills, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Indexed Cemetery Records

These are alphabetical lists of the headstones recorded and indexed by Helen L. Nilles Owens (1932-2019) from 1970-2011 that have been donated for public use. Some entries have been added to FindAGrave. Helen made notes in these indexes to expect mistakes. She copied and proofread all of the names and dates from the headstones herself. Many of them were worn and broken so it was sometimes difficult to discern certain letters and numbers, but she made the best effort to be as accurate as possible.
