Forwarding it to this one. I just found out that the Leonard Cemetery near Bismarck was vandalized recently with about 70 stones being damaged. I am going to try to contact the caretaker of the cemetery to see if he can give me a list of which stones were damaged. Since I have several ancestors buried there (MARTIN and STIPP), I want to make sure the stones get repaired. I just wanted to let anyone with ancestors buried there know what had happened. What a shame, another cemetery, Newell, which is near the Leonard cememtery was plowed under in 1974 now this. I have family in both. there is a person taking pictures of old cemeteries for searchers like us and then there are the others.
