Lockport (Platea) Cemetery

The information on this page was originally posted on April 3, 2001. On July 21, 2003, the Erie Times-News carried a story concerning this cemetery on page 1B. The story is titled "Crew brings old cemetery to life".

Apparently, this cemetery, which is located behind the Platea community park and borough building off Peach Street, has become neglected over the last several years. The Platea Cemetery Association, which owns the property, has been constituted again, with Mick Curran as the new president. The group that has cleaned up the cemetery includes Curran, Bob Silverthorn and Frank Sabol, Jr. All have relatives buried in the cemetery. The Platea Cemetery Association has seven members, including Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook, who has many family members buried in the cemetery. Mr. Cook was for several years the only member of the cemetery board of directors. The story indicates that the new board is hard at work "straightening out the books".

Anyone wishing to contribute additional material concerning this cemetery, please send an email to Bill Klauk.
