That's it. That's the plot. I was intrigued to find a parcel marked Not Assessed on the county real estate site when I was looking up WPC's Tom's Run Nature Reserve. Figured it out accidentally poking around in the woods one day.
Aside: Still trying to figure out what the other Not Assessed parcel I found near another local cemetery is. Seemingly anything without an assessed parcel number is owned by the state. Lotsa fun theories swirling in my mind about that one.
The monument is about as good as it gets.
1300 graves seems really hard to believe considering the number of markers, but judging by the nature of the markers it may not be out of the question that not everybody got one or we're sharing. Like bunk beds but no argument about who gets top and who gets bottom.
One day you're a ward of the state, the next you're an arbitrary alpha-numeric value on a hastily made piece of concrete. Lest I give the impression that the state hospital were monsters in the mid 19th century (they weren't right?) there were seemingly enough records kept to have a key to the buried and thier plots.
1300 still seems like a ridiculous number when you consider the size of the plot.
Unrelated, a few shots from the adjacent section of Tom's Run Nature Reserve that got me here in the first place.
Tree, eh? It was breezy...
And a breeze generally means hawks on this side of the hill. They're rad.
