Watt/Flora/Sand Hill Cemetery

By

Wm. Michael Wilson


 


This is perhaps the oldest community graveyard in and around the Anna/Sand Hill area of Warren County. These names were taken from tombstones that were barely standing, knocked over, and in some cases buried just beneath the surface. Some tombstones are missing since earlier listings of the cemetery were published. This was a large cemetery for its day. In my estimation there are at least twice as many graves in the cemetery with just stone markers and no names. There have been some attempts by families who have ancestors buried there to maintain the area immediately where their ancestor is buried by constructing fences around some graves. For the most part this cemetery is about to be lost. Restoring this cemetery would be a great project for a community organization or a group like the Boy Scouts.
