Jerry, It is very unlikely that they own the Ewington Cemetery but I imagine that the cemetery property butts up against the junkyard property . You could contact the township trustees to see if they could answer your question. You can contact the County Commissioners Office at the courthouse and ask who the trustees for that townhip are. I would then either call them or write them a letter about your concerns.

But, are we saying that establishing and enforcing laws to protect graveyard periphery's is impracticable if not impossible? More specifically, what can be done to get rid of the auto junk yard bounding Ewington Cemetery in Huntington Township? It looks like the cemetery and the junk yard are in somebody's backyard. Does that mean they own the cemetery (and its inhavitants) and can do anythine they want to do with it? And can deny access to it?
