Other_Information:

It appears that there may be a number of graves that are not marked.  My husband and I have been keeping it mowed since we moved here a year ago.  The farmer who owns the land adjoining the cemetary is in the process of selling it to be developed as a housing development and I fear it will be destroyed.

Support:

I have no idea who to contact regarding this matter.
