FACING WEST

(*Disclaimer:  Although there are only a few, in any and all cases I have opted not to post any stones with a D.o.D. past 1965 in order to provide a respectful time frame for the family.  It is my hope that this art project will provide a photographic rendering of the cemetery as it stands today, 2012, for future ancestors seeking their kin.)

Set of Stairs from Nowhere located on the Wetzel Road entrance side.

Parking is to the right.

Morgan Cemetery, aptly enough, faces Morgan Road in the Town of Clay.

Though the monuments are generally four sided, the tombstones all face Morgan Road.

Oddly, there is a wide-wide, overgrown gully betwixt the road and the first row of stones.

Since the entrance is located on Wetzel Road, it has always seemed odd to me that there is no longer a *front* to the original cemetery but has been redesigned to enter from the side.

Stone to the far left is the front row stone.  Immediately in front of that is the drop off.

Behind that far left stone looking into the gully.

The gully in front of the first row.

The existing front row appears to be dedicated to the RICHARDSON family

Stones posted are from left to right facing the gully.

(excepting the tall monument-there I have posted all four sides)
