Cemetery Tour – Part 2
As you walk through the main gates along the service road the majestic Old Oak Tree can be seen spreading out over the south end of the cemetery.
The grave of Martha Ellison, the first grave established here, lies under the western edge of the Old Oak Tree.
The Flemming Family cemetery lies just to the south beyond the Old Oak Tree.
The cemetery is organized in 14 blocks. Blocks 1 – 8 are in the main area with Blocks A – F in the new area.
Block C in the new area was opened in the spring of 2011 as there are only a few grave sites available in the main area. While there appears to be many open plots in the main area most of them are reserved by families for future internment.
