Directions: |
|
|
|
Go east out of
Roachdale on US 236 about ¼ mile. There will be a brick house, then a white
house with barns behind it just west of the Roachdale Cemetery. Go through
the barnlot and follow a lane that goes south across a stream and though an
open area to the cultivated field. When you get to the field, turn right
(west) and follow the north edge of the field about ¼ mile. The cemetery is
to the north in a patch of woods. As a point of reference, it is also about
100 yards south and a little east of the brick house referred to above. |

Condition: Fair |
|
|
|
This cemetery was
maintained at one time. It should be mowed a time or two each summer. There
are a few mature trees that should be cut out. There is a fence around the
cemetery, but the fence is in poor condition. The fence needs to be either
removed or replaced. Groundhogs have rooted around in the area. A load of
dirt and some shoveling to level the ground would really help. |
