Cemetery section
1 This
section is on the west side of the cemetery reading from the west gavel drive
and going east to the first grass north/south access drive. The rows were read north to south. This cemetery is a quiet cemetery on a large
hill with stately pines. It is normal
well kept but the last time I was there it was in real need of being mowed
which means any stone you are looking for that is on the ground is very hard to
locate. row 1 1 KENYON west
