It is my judgment, based on what I found, that several years ago this
cemetery was bulldozed. All the stones were tumbled into contorted positions
into several piles. Since then it has undergone more destruction at
the hands of the uncontrolled tree growth. Dense Privy Hedge is rampant here
leaving navigation difficult including locating all the stones. The
wife of Dr
A. M. Barclay, Matilda's monument has tumbled face down and cannot be
read except for the back side epitaph. The Coons monument has fallen or been
vandalized and is lying on the ground in its several parts. The inscribed
parts has been turned up so that they can be read. The other monuments are
old Box tombs that have been pushed up into piles. I cannot by any means
confirm that all the monuments are accounted for though we found something
to match to previous historians listings. It is just difficult for me
to comprehend that we can be so callous toward our ancestors graves.
