Other Information:
Many stones are now illegible, broken, stacked, leaning
against the bases of trees, some are sinking terribly. Possibly had been
vandalized years ago, but damage from whatever source here is extreme. Some
effort appears to have been made recently at least to pile stones so the
grass can be cut. Living out of state, visiting every few years, so have
no idea what is the contact for this cemetery, ownership or responsible
party. Can  someone locally find out what can be done to preserve the
remaining markers???
