On July 2, 2012 I visited the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Clarion, PA with my father and my aunt. A distant relative from my Selker family connections was very helpful and was our guide in the cemetery. The Immaculate Conception Cemetery is the final resting place for many direct ancestors, their siblings and their children.

| Michael O'Neill's tombstone is very faded and sections are difficult to read. Showing the image as a cross process makes the faded portions of the tombstone legible. |
