Cedar Lane Cemetery #1
It is estimated that as many as 25,000 inmates are buried in unmarked graves here. These people died before tests, vaccinations, and drug treatments were invented. At the height of operation during the 1940's, there were 12,000 inmates here. Very few records were kept and the majority of these inmates were buried in unmarked graves.
