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.
