It's a shame it was let go like this. As you mentioned, things are improving slightly owing to volunteers. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Adelaide, Australia.

Are they all abandoned graves

[@MyInterestingMoments]

Unfortunately the entire cemetery does not have the owner. There was no one who to hold accountable for mowing the grass, let alone cut the wild bushes. The nature took over, and one could not even access the graves of the family members. The heavy tombstones that would fall one could not even access if they were in the middle of the bushes. If they are accessible they are too heavy for a family member to raise, as all the services of the cemetery ceased over twelve years ago.
The cemetery has no owner who would provide services and take care of the infrastructure.
Also notice that some of the tombstones state that the people died in the 1900's. Probably they might be even no surviving members of the family in some cases.
I visited the cemetery last year and this year, and I can see some improvements. The volunteers are doing a good job. The best kept plots are the ones taken care by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
So sad place.
