Hello,
This cemetery contains many, many of my ancestors and I have spent many hours there.Two sweet older gentlemen took care of it for years, but one has passed away and the other is now too old to keep it up.I have tried boy scout groups, the historical society, etc., with absolutely no luck.There are more headstones falling over.I know the one you are talking about.What is sad is to read the list of headstones found there in the mid 1900's and now you can see how many are missing.There have been deer hunters there that have backed their trucks in there and run over the graves.We repaired the fence, but they just tear it down.The family removed a deer stand there.It isfull of OLD headstones that contain so much valuable information about each individual there.So sad, but I still go there and work when I can.
