The first burial in Mount Vernon Cemetery was in 1860.  It is now
abandoned and in poor condition with only two tombstones and a
wooden cross in evidence.  Some attempt has been made to keep what
remains in good repair as the remaining gravestones have been
repaired and there is a wooden fence around the area.
Unfortunately, at least one stone looks as if it was used for target
practice.

The photographs in this portion of the archives were contributed by:
