I have been following this situation [erosion at Blake Cemetery on the bank of the Upper Ammonoosuc River in Stark] since I first saw photographs of the eroding riverbank on Facebook. In fact, I am the person who sought an opinion from a qualified contractor to see what might be done to protect the cemetery. It was on his inspection, that the skull was seen part way down the banking, and the state police were called.

There was soon a flurry when the situation became public - folks finally taking notice. I volunteered and was given permission to survey the existing monuments in the cemetery. The results of my mapping show that at least four bodies are gone or partially gone.
