Seems like years ago I heard some refer to it as the Old Morgan Cemetery and another family name that I cannot think of. A person used to use the Parson driveway to get up there. (However she died a few months ago and I do not know who now owns the property. Her son Eddie might know.) Turn in between the two Russ Fulk garages. go out around and up the hill. I have a 1924 map or blueprint of New Era plans and that was called Cemetery Street. No name marked for the cemetery. It has been several years since the Boy Scouts cleared the cemetery. I would expect it to be overgrown again. I have wanted to go look at it but with it so very close, I always seem to forget when I have the time to do it.
