General Neglect
Description - It is very grown up and many of the graves are deeper in the woods
that are no visible. Some graves have trees growing through them and
breaking them. I have never seen anyone trying to clean this cemetery.
It is very close to my home and to the Louisiana Pacific Corp. When it
gets a little cooler, I may try to clean it myself for it is real
snakey and would not attempt to do it now. I have no idea as to whom
is in charge of it nor who owns the land. But I heard it was belonging
to Mead.
Other Problems - I just think that a cemetery should be kept a lot cleaner and taken
care of. These older cemeteries are a part of our history and someone
should at least try to keep it nice.
