I learned about this cemetery from the commander of my VFW post. He couldn't remember the name, but told me where it was. When I found it, I couldn't believe that this was a real place! It sounds like the title of a book!
It's also known as the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cemetery.
Many of the stones are illegible and I'm sure there are plenty that are unmarked.
It's beautifully well-kept.
Find A Grave lists 72 interments.
