Allegheny County Memorial Park Cemetery

While I was in Pittsburgh I took some time to visit a cemetery in hopes to find some additional information on my Hellerman Family line. I felt like I hit the jackpot!


I knew I would find the graves of 3 Poppenhouse family members- Raymond, Marie (Hellerman), and Alice Poppenhouse. They are all there and accounted for. Here are the pictures of their tombstones:







Who are the Poppenhouse's?

Marie is the daughter of Adam and Stella (Ehrenberger) Hellerman. Marie married Raymond Poppenhouse, unsure of their marriage date. To the best of my knowledge, it appears they only had one child which was Alice Poppenhouse.

I do have an obituary for each of these family members, if interested I can post them here as well.

While at the cemetery I took a chance and asked if there were any other Hellerman family members buried there. I was shocked to find 4 Hellerman graves!


Here are their tombstones:





Phillip and Gertrude Hellerman would be the uncle and aunt of Marie Hellerman Poppenhouse. Phillip and Gertrude had 2 children- Robert and Gertrude. I have not found any spouses or children for either Robert or Gertrude.
I will continue to post here various information, depending on which family line I am working on. I do tend to skip around from line to line, sometimes depending on when information becomes available. If you have a request for information, let me know and I can post it here or if you have some information to add to what I am posting that would be great as well.
