St. Clair Cemetery is located in Mt. Lebanon, Allegheny County, Pa. on Scott Road. The cemetery is one of the earliest in the South Hills area with the earliest burials dating to the early 1800s. The cemetery is owned by the Mt. Lebanon Evangelical Presbyterian Church (MLEPC).

MLEPC may own the cemetery, but it has very spotty records about the history of the cemetery and who is buried there. This Web site is the result of months of research and exploration. New tombstones are still being uncovered as debris is cleaned from the cemetery and toppled stones are uprighted. More than 200 families are represented here and there are close to (if not more than) 1,000 burials. The property takes up about 2 acres of land.

In some old obituaries and records, St. Clair Cemetery is referred to as “Old Mt. Lebanon Cemetery,” but it is a separate entity and not connected to the much larger Mt. Lebanon Cemetery. This can get confusing as the two cemeteries are located across Scott Road from each other.

This site contains a listing of tombstone inscriptions, profiles on many of the people and families buried here and information on the MLEPC.
