Hi Everyone, I am Mary Anne Cook. I have an ancestor Mary byroad who was burried in Cedar Hill Cemetery In Lebanon. I went and looked up the cemetery tonight when I took My Granddaughter back over to Lebanon. From what I could find out about the cemetery is that there were about 500 people burried there. One headstone that still stands there had the year 1776 on it. According to a stone in the middle of the old cemetery all 500 bodies were removed. There is no Golf Course that I could find anywhere around the cemetery. There is an American Flag that is flying in the direct middle of the cemetery. There is also a big Angel by a tree there that evidently was not removed when the bodies were. There is a stone in the middle by the flag pole that says it is the old Cedar Hill Cemetery. There is a big green water tower in the middle of the cemetery also. The big stone that had the year 1776 on it said the name of the person there was Robert Hill Revolutionary War Soldier. I hope this helps someone. I am planning a trip over there to the Library tomorrow to see what I can find out about My ancestor Mary Byroad. I am wanting to find out if she is indeed My GGGGrandmother Mary Bollinger Byroad who was married to John (Unckle Jacky) Byroad My GGGGrandfather. My GGGGrandmother died sometime between 1880 and 1890. I also had an Aunt Grace Byroad who died in 1893 at 3 years of age and her baby brother Edward Byroad who died at the age of 1 month also in 1893. I also want to find out where they are burried. I cannot figure out why the bodies were removed and the cemetery closed down, unless the people living around the cemetery did not feel comfortable about it being that close to where they lived. In any case it should have been left alone. Our ancestors chose that cemetery for their final resting place. They should have been left to rest there.
