A new elementary school is across the street. This is a misleading cemetery. At first, it appears to be just a few headstones, well groomed and cared for. A further look, however, proves to be interesting. There are several graves behind these nicely kept ones that are in disrepair and located in a heavily wooded area. Headstones mark them but most are unreadable. Some have sunken in dramatically. . There were 10 totally unreadable gravestones.
