Other_Information:

The property is located on another property below my home. The man who currently owns this 
property will not allow anyone into the cemetery although his deed is excepting and reserving the 
cemetery. There is about 15 feet you must go through his land to get to it because it is landlocked 
by him. The previous owners allowed scouts to come and clean and kept it well maintained for 
years. It is to the point now where if we do not get in there soon there will be nothing left. We just 
started the North Centre Twp. Historical society and this is our first major endeavor. Many 
roadblocks so far, anything that would be of help would be most appreciated. There is some info on 
the net too..http://columbiacoholding02.homestead.com/OldEbenezer~ie4.html
