I first located this cemetery back in the late 80s, early 1990s. It was an overgrown cemetery located on a farm. The cemetery had pretty much been abandoned and the owners had cows that used it as a cow path to the creek and other portions of the farm. This is the reason why many of the stones were broken and knocked over. It's my understanding that the cemetery became a project and has been cleaned up, stones repaired and replaced over their proper graves and I'm super thrilled to know that. I tried back in the 90s to get a movement toward repairing the cemetery but at the time the township did not have the money to do it. I'm just happy they found a way to get it done. I thank everyone who has been kind enough to take photos of the newly repaired/mounted stones. These are all my ancestors and I can't thank you enough for what you have done to fix this piece of my family history.
