I am from out of state and cannot get any support in this county. I
have visited this cemetery for the past 40 years at least once a year
and am amazed that this type of destruction can go on! The previous
owner bulldozed some of the gravestones down over a hillside and into
a stream...He knocked down the railing, which protected the cemetery
from his cows and he laughed when we asked him to stop destroying the
site. It is now covered with beer cans and trash. It appears to be a
local meeting place for teens.
