Other_Information:
I visited this cemetery today May 13, 2006. Someone is starting
to remove the large trees from the area. Roads have been cut
through the woods in the area. Logging machinery has pushed brush
and tree branches into the cemetery. I did some clean up. I
will try and locate the property owner and find out who is logging the
area.
