ABANDONED GRAVES 1
- 7 These are old graves that were marked only with stones and have
been reclaimed by nature. The photographs are to lead those interested
in examining the area closer to their locations. The headstone to the
lower left is the stone described in Unidentified grave 4. There is
evidence of a path into the woods. Abandoned graves can be seen to the
right up the hill, straight ahead and to the left. For those interested
in hunting, plotting or researching these graves, you should enter the
stand of trees with all due caution!!! You should be very careful about
where and how you step. It would always be best to have a search compainon
with you in areas such as these. |
