To get to the Square, from the Cemetery Office area located on Rochelle Lane, proceed east on Rochelle Lane to the Stop Sign.  Go straight ahead and proceed down Columbian Avenue until you get to the intersection at Jackson Avenue.  Turn right onto Jackson Avenue and stop just before the crest of the hill near a tree (On the Blandford Map, this area is near the "so" of the word "Jackson").  From Jackson Avenue, only the back of the Headstones can be seen.  The car appearing in some of the pictures is parked on Jackson Avenue.   If you are interested in the pictures below, you can "right click" each picture to "view" each at its full size and/or to "save" each to your computer.
