On the night of 30 March 2010, the gatehouse (built 1876), behind it, on the right had its western wall blow out. It has been shored up by a wooden wall, and 2'x4'' buttresses, and that is the way it has stayed. There is not money for such things. People should be paid for work. One would wonder if some 'goth' kids could be hired. There is much to see in different sorts gravestones, and the landscaping had been good at one time. Recently, this large tree had lost a huge portion of itself in a storm. It fell on top of stones, and has been sawed in chunks. A short mausoleum has not been maintained, some of it has collapsed, it has blocked up, and a sheet of wood placed over some of that, there is weeds growing on top, and no distinguishing marks visible.
Over the years, weather, storms, erosion, acid-rain, freeze-thaw cycles, burrowing animals, bad care and vandalism has allowed it to fall in appearance. It still has some beauty and pleasantness about it.
