This is true. I took a historic tour through that area. Supposedly the graveyard covered multiple blocks in the city and a small remnant is left on 6th Ave near the 1st Presby church. The guide said the earthen walls of the basement will have bones occasionally poke through. It blows my mind how many cemeteries have been bulldozed when they should have been carefully excavated. He also said Heinz field stood, which had been an island, on an old native settlement who primary use in the 1750's was torturing captive European soldiers. While British soldiers had been tortured then killed during their campaigns through the area, I never have found any sources to back up that it was the use of the island.
