Commentary from Cemetery surveyor
I tried to get permission to visit this cemetery 5 Nov 2009 by was met by vicious dogs when I drove up the driveway. What do you do? Risk awaking a night shift worker, by blowing your horn? Being a polite southerner, I chose to drive away, but was able to get a distant photo and will try again another day when I may find someone in the yard.
