This cemetery was cleaned several years ago by the landowners.
At this time it is overgrown and barely accessable.
Caldwell County has started a program to clean the overgrown and abandoned cemeteries in the county.
Volunteers will be needed to help clean the cemeteries this fall and winter
If you wish to help, email me and I will tell you who to contact.... Peggy Gilkey
