Other_Information:
It has historically been held that Abraham Lincoln held court in the
adjacent church (now disintegrated)/church yard. The cemetery has
been routinely burned off on, I believe, an annual basis. While
it has been mowed, gravestones and markers have been
damaged/destroyed/moved. I believe this cemtery is of historical
importance and should have better care.
