Other_Information:
There two
corner Limestones, one of which is still standing the other which
is broken
and appears to be lying in the middle of the cemetery. The
cemetery has 20
or so bluestone slate headstones. I do not know if they are
just headstones
or headstones and footstones. The wood in which the
cemetery is located has
some garbage and bottles lying about. I found one
such bottle in the
cemetery which I removed. The cemetery was covered with
leaves and debris
which I also did my best to remove. The cemtery is
overgrown with trees and
the only headstone with an inscription is being
leaned on by a large tree.
The stone reads "WILLIAM WARREN Feb 11, 1818
June 8, 1862 HIS WIFE ANN ELIZA
May 28, 1820 Jan. 7, 1860"
I know that Ann Eliza was my ggg grandmother and
either William or his
brother Joseph was my ggg grandfather. Any help that
can be given to save
this cemetery, and the Warren family right to visit and
take care of it
would be greatly appreciated!
