Sadly, we encounted many stones such as this   as we got toward the top of the hill.  It was clear during the visit that no effort whatsover   was being made by the mowing crew   (consisting of two teenage boys)  to avoid hitting these stones or to do anything to repair or preserve them.  The area nearest the top of the hill are   where the oldest burials may be found,  and quite a few stones   in similar condition are located there.
	This stone of a child William Simmons who died 06 Aug 1864  was found leaning against the fence about 1/2 way up the hill.  It was not mounted in any way and  clearly came from some other part of the cemetery.
