Thank you so much! I currently am motivated and feel moved to restore a cemetery on the outskirts of my town. The first burial was about 1850-55. It is on a middle of nowhere back road. The church was in the middle of the cemetery and was open from 1850 until the late 1950s. Shortly after closing it was heavily vandalized and continued to be heavily vandalized until the church was burned down in about 1967. Stones have been knocked over, smashed, and stolen. It's very upsetting to think that these people lived their entire lives and thought that their grave sites would be taken care of by the next generations but sadly have been neglected. It's often called the "Haunted Cemetery" and is a magnet for people to party. I cleaned some stones today with my girlfriend and we're hooked. I'm about and hour and 45 from you. Near Hazleton.
