Joy, It does have something to do with Ware. Every cemetery is in danger of this problem. At least they took it rather than just trashing it. Somebody or bodies has practically destroyed one of our oldest cemeteries. Archibald Henderson, a famous North Carolinian, is buried there and his tomb is all but destroyed. Thank goodness there were a number of pictures of it and it is being replaced. It's one of those great big things. We have two very old cemeteries and they are named Old English and Old Luthern. Old Luthern is the one that got hit.
