Per the website: Brief History of Turner Cemetery Turner Cemetery is located in the middle of a busy block of Beechwood Boulevard in the Squirrel Hill/Greenfield area of Pittsburgh near the intersections of Beechwood Boulevard, Hazelwood Avenue, Brown’s Hill Road and Saline Street. The half-acre graveyard, dating back to 1785, has a history that far outweighs its size, for it is believed to be the second oldest cemetery in Pittsburgh after Trinity Burial Ground on Sixth Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh and maybe the third oldest in Allegheny County after the Beulah United Presbyterian Cemetery in Wilkins Township. Originally the cemetery was the burial plot of the Girty-Turners’ farm. The land was owned by John Turner (1755-1840), who made a good living selling crops to the garrison in Downtown Pittsburgh. He called his 154-acre estate “Federal Hill,” remembered today only as the small street beside the graveyard. When John Turner died, he willed the cemetery to the local community. It was never a church graveyard, although a series of Methodist churches was built adjacent to it on land that John Turner donated for that purpose.
