Cemetary in the Villages

[Klgehring]

I noticed that there is a cemetery next door to the Caroline pool and mailboxes. Does anyone know anything about this cemetery? Are there other cemeteries within the Villages?

I think this is it, but I'm not positive.

Family burial grounds of those that had farms here pre Schwartz?

It is listed here under the Lake County listings as "Cherry Lake Cemetery, Sumter".

LOL We just visited it yesterday on a Segway tour of the Lake Sumter area. Unfortunately it was very cold and rainy and I was so busy shivering I didn't pay much attention. They gave us the whole history but I forgot other than it is privately owned. Cut through the mailbox/pool parking lot and it's on the right on a cul de sac next to a house. Has a locked gate. Very pretty "resting place" final or otherwise. :pray:

Not a lot of plots there and most of the vaults are a foot out of the ground. I wouldn't want to be the home next to it on Halloween!

I noticed that there were a lot of dead people there.

Out walking last night decided to take short cut through a Cemetery when 3 young girls came towards me and said they were petrified walking through the grave yard and asked if they could walk along side me so I said yes...

As we were walking I said don't worry I understand I used to be petrified walking through here when I was alive.
Never seen anybody run so fast.

If you ever read Leisureville you will find this cemetary mentioned in that book.
