Other Information
Last year the Department of
Natural Resources burned off this area including the cemetery.
Tombstones were covered with burn areas, soot and some tombstones
exploded to jigsaw pieces from the moisture in them when it was
burned off. Deplorable condition. Cemetery includes Civil War Vet
and other War Vet graves.
Support
None known.
