The second picture I have listed is actually Asia's headstone. It is hard to read because of the moss. It says "In Memory Of Asia Wife of John S. Clarke" . I have also attached a picture that shows the unmarked foot stone . Sorry if its dark--it was raining when I went.

Bill,
The cemetery opened in 1839. It takes up a large city block and is surrounded by a 8 ft rock wall with fencing on top in some areas. Here is a picture of the entrance gate.
I will go back some time next year when the weather is better. I also visited the grave sites of Michael O'Laughlen and Joseph E Johnson . Lot's of history in the old place.
Rick
