We are writing to let you know that a Find A Grave volunteer has reported a problem with your photo request for Jennie Ruthven.

The general problem they reported is:
This burial is on private property or is otherwise inaccessible

They also reported, specifically:
After contacting the Diocese, I have found that there is a HUGE chain link fence around this entire property. It is owned and managed by the Marshall family, and they are the ONLY headstones readily seen in this cemetery. The diocese stated that there may be others, but there are not kept up, or managed by anyone, and will be TOTALLY unaccesible to anyone. The church grounds are open to the public only one day a year...All Saints Day.
