Other_Information:
It is very overgrown with probably 6-8 ft of thick weeds.
That's even after the frost has killed them - can't
imagine how bad it was when they were actively growing. The
cemetery is right next to a field that's irrigated
regularly by huge sprayers so the wind brings them a good water
supply all summer. If it hadn't been for some of the large
obelisk stones you'd have never been able to tell it was a
cemetery.
