Previous Contacts

Bess Clark, She has lived across the street from the cemetery for many years. I told her she should call the town and see if anything could be done about it. I also reminded her that a civil war soldier is buried there with his family members and I thought it was a disgrace that any cemetery should be allowed to go to ruin like this one has.

Current Status

Just as bad and getting worse.
