| Antioch Cemetery Damaged By Falling Tree [locales:pwc] | Nov 12, 2006 13:10 |
I've posted before back when pwcitizen was running on the Antioch Church near my house. A woman contacted me via email from Arizona about checking the small cemetery for her ancestral surnames (Vermillion,Pomeroy), so I ran over there recently to help her out. It's a small cemetery and only takes about 15 minutes to walk the entire thing.
A couple weeks back we had several days of gusty winds and apparently this huge poplar had enough. The tree is broken off about 20 feet above the ground and came down on a number of graves. The damage is not widespread, but many of the gravestones under it are broken.
Oh, and unless they're under that tree, there are no Vermillions or Pomeroys to be found there.
