During my visit to this
cemetery in 2006, I observed four separate sections: Calvary, IOOF, A & FM and a section which seemed to be devoted to Indian burials. The Calvary and Indian sections are side by side and are separated by a highway from the IOOF and the A & FM sections. The Indian section is sep- arated by a fence from the Calvary section, and is the only section that does not seem to have a sign designating the section.......... Gerry Perry |
