Weeping Willows Elm Cemetery
Description
At one time a gorgeous place of rest for Maltons' many deceased residents. Now the lawns lay overgrown and ragged. Hundreds of headstones now are barely visible from beneath years of forgetfulness.
Once beautiful mausoleums and marble headstones lie in ruin. Deep holes that once were graves, splintered mausoleum doors and a festering lake are almost all that is left of the glory that once was this awe inspiring vigil to death.
