Damage Noted
This cemetery is at risk. There are broken and damaged stones and at least one missing entirely. It seems as though there has been efforts to reset stones in the past, and possibly even movement of the cemetery as a whole. Many are marble stones that could be quickly and effectively restored with D2 treatment.
Notes
Sometime in the last decade, uprooted footstones belonging to the Brooks Children were reset…however they appear to have been reset as new burial markers, rather than footstones. They tie and agree to the three headstones and should be replaced properly. It is possible this was done for ease of upkeep/mowing.
