Thanks Jim for the information , we didn't get out of the car, so we assumed it must be locked. And Happy anniversery to you and Sue....: ) Jim Giddens <[email protected]> wrote:On my way to work this a.m., I took a few minutes to drive out to Sylvan and to the Sylvan Cemetery. Of course Sam is correct. However I drove by it the first time without seeing it. It is close to exactly 2.0 miles from U.S. 82 and there is a Hwy type(state) sign on the left (north) side of the road pointing to the cemetery. It is just a few yards before you get to CR 13100. It is about 200 ft out in a pasture. You will not have any trouble with weeds or brush. There is a gate near the road. It has a latched chain, but not a lock. The lady next door said to keep the gate chained or the horses would get out. I could see the marker from the gate, but I did not have time to stop and go in for a look. I did not notice or could not see a fence around the immediate area of the cemetery. I guess that means the cemetery and visitors are exposed to the horses.
