That's gotta be the cemetery across from St. Pats and the Catholic
school. Not "a" hill, it's on ***THE*** hill. (North Madison, as
opposed to under the hill---in the valley--- regular Madison.) If you
visit, go up Michigan Hill Road from downtown and hang a left at the
Catholic School.

Natives don't call it North Madison and Madison, just Madison and "on
the hill." Other hills (i.e. Telegraph, etc.) are refered to by name.
There four cemeteries right together, (you will pass 3 that look like
one HUGE cemetery) but you must turn for the Catholic one.

Hope that helps someone. Madison people tend to have their own lingo
that has been around for generations. Hanging Rock Hill Road and
Michigan Hill Road and "New" Hill Road --which is now old, all go up to
the same "The Hill" hill area.... Confusing for a non native, I know.
