| This is what the cemetery looks like in May 2003 |
| ( William Ziegler remembers when part of the hillside was bulldozed away to make room for the Christian Church. Others feel some graves were moved to the newer Catholic Cemetery at this time -- or lost ). I have not found this to be true as of yet, in 2003. |
