I don't have pictures yet, but I can tell you that we took one roll of film with us and couldn't take enough pictures to record all of the damage! There are headstones broken, headstones moved, and headstones toppled. Some were knocked off of their bases and some were removed from the ground. Many stones are "face" down and I couldn't read the names. One was moved into a brush pile! So sad...

My greatgrandparents, grandparents, and mother were all laid to rest here.
Cleveland is the family name. I am very sorry to received this news. I hope someone will contact us as the pictures are taken and identified.

Most of these were restored. I will check on the Cleveland stones.
