Update
March 29, 2006 - This
cemetery is now being surrounded by a housing development. In
fact the cemetery looks to be a lot withing the development with access
right from the street. No work has been done. It appears
that the
builders/construction people are using this site as a dumping ground for
their day to day trash. I can't believe that with the style homes
that are
being built that the developers and/or home association clean this up.
There are deep impressions in the ground where some graves have sunk in
so
there could be danger for small children. If the DAR thought
enough to
document this cemetery in 1934 - could they be of some help!!??
