After that is done there are many stones that need to be repaired. Other Information This cemetery is infamous as a homeless encampment due to the fact that one can easily hide in it. It has also been used a place where people dump their bulk garbage such as bed frames. Support Submitted by: name: Jennifer HyattEmail: JHyatt1972@aol.com |
