Here's the most neglected of the two cemeteries I mentioned. the ground rises on each little plot and falls between them. I have no idea who's responsibility it is to maintain them...
This is the Shattuck Cemetery not far from where the old homestead stood. even the fieldstone foundation is mostly below ground now, thanks to loggers, but there are still a couple of lilac there by the cellar hole. Half of the headstones and small markers here are for the little children.
Oh, by the way, there's great deer, grouse and woodcock hunting all around this spot.
