Granville Cemetery in Tippecanoe County is also one that is left to grow in its natural state and is burned off, I believe, annually. Letting the vegetation grow makes it very, very difficult to find the broken stones and repair them. I visited Granville Cemetery late last year and took as many photos as I could, but found it difficult walking through the cemetery without stepping on fallen stones. There is a picture of Granville Cemetery as it looked years ago and also one as it looked last year on the Tippecanoe County GenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/GranvilleCem.html There are also a few tombstone pictures.

We don't we all forget mowing our lawns, and burn them off? This does not make sense......
