The Hurst family's In the Field Cemetery was bulldozed. Five headstones and four slabs, removed from their crypts, were salvaged before this graveyard was bulldozed, crypts and all. After the destruction, the slabs and headstones were stacked on concrete blocks in the field but their positions do not mark where individuals were buried. The property belonged to the federal government and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Orchard Research Center when the graveyards were destroyed. [Source: Mr. Don C.
