Cumberland Cemetery

Posted by Jean Crowl on 10 June, 2009

Cumberland Cemetery is a bit of the beaten path, so do check a map prior to leaving. It has been a while since I have been there, but I actually had to go through a farm gate and walk through a pasture to get back to the cemetery. Once I was in the cemetery though, it was clear that someone had been caring for it, as it was neatly mowed and trimmed. At the time that I took these photo's I was not involved with this web site, so I was taking them mainly in hopes of getting potential family markers. Because of that, I did not carefully record information on each of these graves. I will be going back down to gather information, but wanted to offer these in the meantime. Please note that not all the markers are present in my photo's and that you need to verify information in some other manner. As I get time I will be posting a thumbnail version of each picture so that the page will load faster. Once that happens, you can click on the thumbnail to get the larger version of the picture.

You can click on the plus or minus sign on the map to zoom in or out. You can click on the arrows to move either north, south, east or west. You can click on the map and hold your button down to actually "pull" the map from side to side or up and down. On this particular map, if you click the minus sign on the map, it will give you a better idea of where the cemetery is located.
