This surprised us at first, however, we learned that there had been a restoration in the 1970&#8217;s, in which many of the broken stones had simply been accumulated and placed outside the grounds of the cemetery.&nbsp; With this restoration, our objective would be to restore these stones as well, and place them within the walls of the cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
