Grandview Cemetery is a privately-owned burial ground that is located off of Norwood Drive just north of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. It was originally chartered in June 1887. It took its name due to its location upon a prominent hill that overlooks the Beaver River valley – and now the northern part of Beaver Falls itself. The following directors were appointed at that time: Dr. John W. Wallace, Dr. J. J. Wallace, and Dr. R. D. Wallace of New Castle and John White, J. C. Gray, W. J. Alford and Charles P. Wallace of Beaver Falls. Charles P. Wallace (1836-1900), a prominent local banker and former county treasurer, was instrumental in guiding the cemetery in its early days. Ownership of the cemetery changed hands several times over the years and is still very well maintained.
Among the prominent burials is John W. Wallace (1818-1889), a local doctor who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1861-1863 and 1875-1877, and Ray Robinson (1910-1985), the local legend known more popularly as the “Green Man.”

Looking for my gg grandfather’s grave. His name was Charles S. Stewart. He died Dec. 24, 1931. I don’t know if he has a gravestone or not. Is there an official listing of the sites in the cemetery?

I am looking for the grave of my great-grandfather, Michael Hauman, who is buried here. He was born in 1869 (Germany or Poland) and died in 1912 of tuberculosis. His wife, and my great-grandmother, was Susanna “Susie” Hauman who is buried in Grove Cemetary, New Brigthon,PA. Any information which you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for the grave of my great grandfather Joseph Thomas Furnival. He died in 1901. His wife Sara Jane Thatcher Furnival is buried in the Grandview Cemetery in 1944. I know some Furnivals may still live in Beaver Falls.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for this great site. Many wonderful pictures. My cousins and great uncle ran this cemetery for many years until recently. Many great stories about working there and the things that happened back in the 50s-80s. My father and his cousin worked there after Vietnam. What a hot summer they said it was mowing grass!
