| Additional Information: | As one moves around the eastern end upward to the northern end of the cemetery, there is a section (Section 4) that goes out onto a north point which was platted most recently, in 1954. The cemetery vault is located in this area, next to the road. This building, built circa 1896, is a one story, front gabled brick building with large, double vault doors. It was designed to store bodies prior to interment throughout the winter until the ground could thaw enough for digging. Though used until 2002, the vault is no longer needed because machinery now can dig in frozen ground. |
