Overview of Kirkwood Cemetery
In this photo, it shows the transquility of how the final resting place is spent for these Kirkwood ancestors. It is a well-kept cemetery with only a few destroyed markers because of the poor quality stones used. Otherwise it is a day to just walk among the trees to view these interesting gravestones.
