The cemetary was managed by a now defunct benevolent society whose
members are all deceased. The property is fenced in with gates that
are unlocked. Headstones and tombs are in desperate need of repair

Other Problems
The cemetary lies in a prime industrial are which can give access
to the Mississippi River.
