Other_Information:
There is one tombstone that is a woodsman
of the world stone that is shaped like a tree with branches coming
out. also one family plot that is about 15 ft. by 20 ft. briked
around with a wrought iron fence. I was scared to walk around
because Of not knowing where all the graves were I thought I might
fall in to one. Also one of the neighbors said they have had dogs
drag up veils to their porch.
