Sandyvale is the exhumed — the '1850-1906' that's the burial years, the 'moved' that's the graves relocated. The 'abolitionists' is the interred — the 'Slick brothers' that's the William and Benjamin, the 'Heslops' that's the James and Charlotte. The 'forgotten' is the reclaimed — the 'once neglected' that's the cemetery fell, the 'gardens' that's the green space now.
The 'Revolution to Civil War' is the span — the 'eight conflicts' that's the veterans buried, the 'immigrants' that's the Johnstown fueled. The 'conservatory' is the anchor — the 'greenhouse' that's the performance venue, the 'dog park' that's the reclaimed use. Sandyvale is the layered — the 'freedom seekers led' that's the buried conductors, the 'flood city' that's the Johnstown's dead.
The file keeps Sandyvale: the exhumed graves, the abolitionist burials, the reclaimed garden, and the flood's city.
Sandyvale Cemetery is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the relocated remembered.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Sandyvale Cemetery is the archive's Pennsylvania file — the burial ground turned garden.
A cemetery keeps its movers — the file's suggestion being that Sandyvale's hold is the relocated: the 'graves moved' that's the still honored, the 'abolitionists interred' that's the conductors resting, and the 'gardens now' that's the forgotten reclaimed.
