Mr. Roland,

If you are interested in preserving the graveyard, I
recommend that you write to the Washington Co,
MD offices to remind them of its existence and to
indicate your concern.

Our efforts of that sort saved what's left of the
(Brethren) Christian Geiman graveyard in Carroll
Co, MD. Otherwise it would have been totally
lost to a subdivision.
