Belair Cemetery On Ross Road off Woodville Hwy
|
|
Visited 3/18/2001, transcribed by Vickie Stevens. Located off Ross Rd, off Woodville Hwy behind the warehouses on the right.
This cemetery is in deplorable condition. It was
vandalized a few years back in the most horrific manner possible. All
the graves had been dug up and the skeletal remains were hung in the
trees. Headstones were broken and trash was scattered through out. Leon
County Public Works Department, under the supervision of a local
funeral director, went through and re buried the persons buried there
and tried to restore as much as possible. Since then the owner/s of the
property have attempted to clear out some of the trees and the workers
have done as much damage as the vandals of a few years earlier. There
are several graves under the branches and trees that have been piled up
after they were cut down. There are broken bottles, a car bumper and a
sofa dumped there as well. Leon County is currently working with the
owner/s to attempt to correct the damage and clean the area. |
