Mounds (Catholic) Cemetery
This cemetery was taken
over by the forest many years ago. Currently the area is heavily overgrown and covered

in other cemeteries. As we walked through the area we noticed a couple holes
that could have been left after a grave was removed. We did not confirm this.
The remaining marked burials were toward the back of the cemeteries area and on
either side of the central ridge in the cemetery. The area has not been
maintained in a very long time.
