At age 17, James Scott Negley was already displaying his hearty tenacity when, against his parent's wishes and a court order, he joined the "Duquense Grays," a division of the First Pennsylvania Regiment, which was sent to war with Mexico. His civil record was unsurpassed, but he was also a prominent railroadman, financier, state representative, and a vigorous horticulturist.
A carved granite portrait of General James Scott Negley crowns the Negley lot. It also contains the graves of Judge Thomas Mellon, his wife, Sarah Jane Negley, and four of their children.
