ELK GARDEN CEMETERY
Updated Transcription 3-15-2002 by Patti McDonald (In Blue)
Part of this cemetery is in a terrible condition.
It is overcome with weeds, thorns and
stickers. I tried to get as many of the stones and as much
information from them as possible, but I was getting "Pretty
Tored Up" from the stickers and thorns - some stones I just
couldn't get to. Also, many of the
stones are broken and very hard to decipher.
The people who live around the cemetery told me it
is owned by the Keyser Catholic Church. One man, Mr Marple has taken
tremendous effort in cleaning what is cleared - but said it has
exhausted him. He said that a Mr Delileo
from Elk Garden has stated that he is willing to donate the costs of
cleaning it up, and they are working on that process now.
When they get it cleaned up, I'll go back and
complete the cemetery.
