Damage to the Gravestones at the New
Cemetery
Some
stones have been affected by the passage of time and some by
vandalism. The vandalism may not have been directed against the
community. The area had become a haunt for druggies and dropouts
hidden behind the Prayer House and the hedges. These individuals
have been removed and the hedges pruned. In addition the Police and
Wardens are being much more watchful.
Many stones were knocked over some months ago. The
local Cemeteries Department has laid them back face up, and these
were photographed by
Bernard Bookey. Relatives should note that such stones will soon
become unreadable and eventually disappear under the soil. Where
possible relatives have been contacted, but the whereabouts of many
is unknown.
