Williams Family Historical Cemetery

Went to visit the cemetery to contribute towards find a grave website. Unfortunately wasn’t able to get inside, however it was filled with trash and homeless people surrounding the fence. Whoever owns this cemetery clearly doesn’t care to keep up with it.

People now squat outside the graveyard. They have tents and campers they sleep in outside the fence. Since no one takes care of this graveyard or looks after it, it has become a breeding ground for homeless people and trash. It would be better served if those buried in it were moved and the land was sold to someone who cared enough to look after the land.

I remember when i was in high school at East high which used to be on 48th street just north of here. I always wondered who was in this cemetery. Now i know it is the Williams family. Specifically Mandaville Williams family. Don't know much about the family. East high school was closed in 1982. The year i graduated.
