Update
I have family in this cemetery. My grandparents have
always told me the name of this cemetery is not Andover Cemetery, but
Preacher Creek Cemetery. This is also what is listed as the burial site
of my ancestors buried there. I have visited this cemetery on a few
occasions and attempted to clean up some. It is in dire need of help.
There are several stones broken or fallen over, graves are sinking
badly, vegeta Thank you, Gwen Chandler
