<< We cleaned the cemetery yesterday. >>

That's been going on around here for several years. Old cemeteries that are overgrown and the stones toppled. I guess when a village or country church dies no one is left to care for the plots. Makes for a nice project.

I talked to a guy who's in the headstone business and lost cemeteries are his hobby. He's found 27 in this area, radius 30-40 miles, that no one knows are there. He goes by old plat maps and patterns of settled ground. One is 1/3 mile from my house. It would be tough to locate now as around 1980 they laid I74 over top of it.
