Part of it is missing.
Gerrett, a Fairview Park resident and cemetery restoration specialist, estimates she’s spent about 2,000 hours researching the cemetery. During that research, she’s come across records of individuals buried in section I of the cemetery.
The problem is, none of the maps of the cemetery show section I.
About 45 persons were buried in section I between 1889 and 1905. The earliest map of the cemetery Gerrett has found is from 1916. The question is what happened to section I between 1905 and 1916.
