Pictures by Jean Leeper taken 2003 - 2007

Found in Section 22 of Center Township, south side of Mount Pleasant and just south of Linden Heights. The new 218 Bypass has removed the road in and you can only get there by the new bike trail that runs along the east side. Enter the bike trail in the Ashford Park area off East Linden Drive where the small pond and shelter house is and walk or bike south.

Looking north to the Ashford Park area.

Looking south to the top of hill, where trail turns west.

Just around the bend to the west this picture shows the south side of the cemetery. Some of the gate shows on the left side of the picture.

The fence that runs to the west, then along west end to the north and then east on the back side.

Looking to the southeast

Think along north fence.

All above pictures taken May 2007

It is estimated there were 43 burials there. The first burial was in 1843.

We visited on Dec 4, 2004 and took pictures of all stones. There are sixteen stones missing, that are on a previous list. Not sure when listing done.

You will see stones that have had information chiseled from them. I was told this was done by a relative holding a grudge.

Some of the bigger stones.
