Fragments of tombstones vandalized about 10 years ago on Halloween according to
Mayor Jim Bingham: 7493/7495/7496/7497/7498/7522/7523/7524/7525/7526
Footstone J.B. probably belongs to Jesse or Josiah Boyet:
7500
My thoughts in the past have been confirmed here in that the old cemeteries that survive are not in the metropolitan areas. Those city cemeteries are the first ones to get vandalized by youths. Cemeteries far back in the wilderness are likely to survive if there are no trees falling and smashing the stones. Mayor Bingham tells me this one was visited by the evil doers on Halloween around 2005. These are usually gangs of youths feeling mean and looking to destroy something with no respect for property.
Photo numbers 7433 thru 7468 is mapped as the Elliott Cemetery and the rest or photo numbers 7469 thru 7526 are mapped as the Boyet Cemetery located north of the Elliott Cemetery. In this cemetery there are hundreds of fieldstones marking graves by being stood on their end and inserted into the ground with the flat side facing east. They stand just as tall as the $50,000 monument but over time their folks die out and no one then knows who is buried under each of these little markers.
