Hunsaker Cemetery

Morbid title?
Anyway, after nearly 6 years of marriage I'm still learning new things about the Hunsaker's. I already knew about Hunsaker Road, named after Joseph Hunsaker, the brother of our line's ancestor (some 5 greats grandpa, Abraham Hunsaker).
Well, turns out there's a Hunsaker Cemetery too (obviously also named after Joseph). It's a pretty little place out in the country and has been closed a long time (don't know how long) but the most recent death date we saw out there was 1922. Travis' Uncle Jon is on the board of directors and they're trying to get it reopened. Apparently when they first started working on it you couldn't even see the headstones the grass was so high. So, maybe this is morbid, but from what I heard we'd all like to buy a plot there...
That sign is the only one marking the place.
Here's Joseph's headstone...
The family checking out the grounds...
