Has anyone checked on the condition of the cemetery during the summer of 2018. At one time Mary Carter had hired someone to mow the cemetery and my mom and I both gave Mary money to carry out this maintenance. Francis Bowery was buried at the top of the hill with a marker that Mary had obtained. When I went on the Google satellite, I thought I saw some new construction and grading going on so I am concerned. Would you please tell me if I am correct about this new construction and has it destroyed the cemetery?
