The Cemetery in November 2014
The cemetery has been sodded. Now
you can finally see what it probably looked like when
it was in use. During the sodding project several more
stones were found that might mark unknown graves. The
Friends visited the cemetery with a consultant; we discussed
a possible film project about the history of the cemetery
and how important the cemetery was to the community
of Polktown.

The Cemetery in July 2014
Construction of the Delaware City
Branch Canal Trail has begun. This trail will connect
Delaware City with the Mike Castle Trail along the C&D
Canal. The trail will run between the branch canal and
the cemetery, and provide protection from the canal
water and tides.

Construction has begun! The land has
been cleared and all the graves exposed. You can really
get an idea of the size of the cemetery and how many
unknown graves there might be.
