β | + | Cemetery: The cemetery is located at the far end of 22nd Street about two blocks from the hospital campus. There is no parking except directly in front of the locked gate, in the street. As of 2017 it is kept neatly. The more recent markers are at the far end of the cemetery on the right hand side, below a gravel drive. The oldest appear to be on the left hand side and over the rise of the hill. Not all markers are in place - having been disturbed and strewn about. The oldest markers lie flush with the ground and each bears only the decedent's hospital number. About half of the markers are newer granite blocks that rise about four inches from the ground and bear name and dates. There are a handful of markers that appear to have been erected by families. The cemetery listing on Find a Grave is incomplete. | |
