WOODSTOCK, Ala., Oct. 28, 2022 – Mrs. Linda Sansing and her husband Sidney W. Sansing visited the Ray – Strickland Cemetery in October of 2022 with several people from the First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Alabama. She reports that the road/path is hard to traverse and it was an intense hike for the group. She also reports that the fenced in area of the cemetery is well kept. Mr. Sidney Sansing reports that there are several graves outside the fenced area, in the surrounding woodland.
We greatly appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Sansing for sharing the photos with the library.
