The Gordon Hill Cemetery
has had some important changes.
After receiving permission from t.p.t.b.,
the adjacent homeowner has cut down
several of the huge old trees
after one fell on his house.
Sunlight now falls on the graveyard, and
the bushes, poison ivy,
and vines are
flourishing. There's also several large
pieces of tree trunk lying among the
stones.
