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.
Husband of Mary Cethcart Morgan Carnes.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Mar 14 2022, 6:47:41 UTC
