In the late 1950s much of the remains buried in the First Presbyterian Church yard were moved by the church to a mass grave in a memorial garden in a different section of the church grounds. The area previous to where they were buried was made into a parking lot. The burial ground had fallen into serious state of neglect and disrepair previous to the project. The remainign inact headstones were placed in storage in the basement of the church.
