Other_Information:
This is a very pretty and quaint cemetery
that just needs quite a bit of TLC. I spoke with a man living next door to this
cemetery and he said that a very elderly couple decorates the graves, but they
are too old to maintain the property. It would be a shame to allow this old
cemetery to become destroyed--there is something amiss with it as far as the
property owners are concerned...the neighbor gave me a pretty serious warning
about calling the property owners about it. I'm going to talk to a lady who
wrote about it in the local paper about a year ago and try to figure out what is
going on before contacting the property owners.
