This is at least the third location for this cemetery. The county has moved it at least twice. I've never been to the current location, but I have visited this cemetery once. Back in 1982, the _Dominion Post_ ran a couple stories about how rowdy people were having all-night parties in this cemetery, littering it with their beer cans and breaking the wooden crosses that marked the graves. Around that time, I went to a youth group meeting at my church. After the formal meeting was over, everybody jumped in cars, saying there was a place where they hung out after the meeting. Turns out, this cemetery was that place. I asked the other teenagers what on earth they were thinking. If they had run into the partiers, it wouldn't have gone well for them. My great-grandmother is buried in this cemetery. When she died, my great-grandfather was so poor, he couldn't afford to bury her, so she ended up here. My great-uncle always wanted to buy a headstone to put on her grave, but he never did. He's long dead now, too. I wonder if anybody even knows the exact spot where she's buried.

@@bigscarysteve Dodnt know they had moved it. Very interesting. Thanks for watching!
You can see the rows that you pointed out. At least they made it where it isn’t a mess that they can’t keep up.
Yes, They do a good job of keeping it mowed and picked up.
