disturbed soon by the progress of the improvements that will result in the destruction of the old
graveyard adjoining the East Haines Street Methodist Episcopal Church, in Haines street, east of
Germantown avenue.
"Desolation reigns in the little 'God's acre,' which has been abandoned for years. The tombstones
are discolored and awry and the paths and graves are overgrown with weeds and bushes.
"Services have not been held in the church for a long time. The congregation now worships in the
First Methodist Church of Germantown.

interred there are expected to arrange for the transfer of the bodies to another cemetery."
