Lovejoy Cemetery
section 1
This section is on the west side of the cemetery reading from the west gavel drive and going east to the first grass north/south access drive. The rows were read north to south. This cemetery is a quiet cemetery on a large hill with stately pines. It is normal well kept but the last time I was there it was in real need of being mowed which means any stone you are looking for that is on the ground is very hard to locate.
