Friends of Forest Hill Cemetery

 December 11, 2008 this area had an ice storm and as a result many stones were damaged. In this area of NH alone over 400,000 were without power, some for up to two weeks.  Now don't get me wrong, I do love trees - just not in a cemetery and this is the reason why as you will see in the photos.

Kudos to the cemetery crew at Forest Hill.  They did an awesome job in cleaning up the major debris. Thank You also to the Friends of Forest Hill Cemetery and the residents of Derry & East Derry who pitched in and moved small limbs and raked debris to help the crew.

Same area as above but zoomed in to view damage down in the middle of above photo.  It was too dangerous to walk under those trees!!!!

 Some other areas of the cemetery that I could get into.

 I was glad to see the monument of H. P. Hood survived.  It's the tall   one on the left near the tree.

 And then the snows came, day after day.  One day when the sun was   shining I grabbed this photo as a jet flew over.

  .... and then Spring arrived and the cleanup got underway in earnest.
