York Family Cemetery 
Located on private property. The East Coast Allreds
have erected a new gate (there was already a fence around the area) cut down
and removed a lot of the large briars and small trees from the cemetery. For more information and/or
permission to visit, contact Dennis York.

The cows supervising our work in the cemetery. Their pasture surrounds the
cemetery, but a fence keeps the cows from entering the cemetery and disturbing
the graves.
