The letters were added as more land was added to the Cemetery. Currently we see the following:
OG - Old Graveyard. This denotes the old part of the cemetery. This is also sections 19,20,21 on the "New Charts".
DA - This refers to the Derr Addition that was added in 1884
TA - This refers to the portion of land across Howard Street and stands for Taylor Annex"
According to the deed for your family's plot we are not responsible for the damage. However, we understand your concerns and we have some damaged headstones that have essentially been abandoned. We are currently researching the best way to fix these so that we preserve - rather than erase the history of the past. Please send us an email, let us know what you are able to do, and we will keep you up to-date on what we find out and how we can proceed.
A definite, maybe! We are currently undergoing an audit of the cemetery both physically by walking the cemetery AND by looking at all of the available burial records. We know that there are unmarked graves in the cemetery, and we are in the process of identifying them, and researching how they can be appropriately marked. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
