Other Information
Most of the headstones are in real bad shape. A lot
the headstones date back to the 1700's. It is a shame to see this cemetery
in this shape. Someone does cut the grass and people are still be
interned to this graveyard. But not that many and more could be done to
take better care of this cemetery. The head markers are in real bad
shape. It is another piece of history that we are going to loose unless
someone does something!
