DORSEY CEMETERY

Located off Greenlick Road, next to pond in wooded area.

This cemetery is located on my grandparent's farm. I recorded all this information on paper when I was a young girl (probably in the late 80's or early 90's). There were more tombstones, but these were just the ones that caught my eye. When I went back out there in 2002, I saw that most of the tombstones were down, covered with fallen trees, dirt, grass or some couldn't be found, most were cracked in places. Cattle roam through this area.
