On October 24, 2001 a tornado hit LaPorte County and did quite a bit of damage in the Wills Township area.
Fortunately 99% of the stones in this cemetery were unaffected by the falling timbers. Plans are in motion now to tend to the clean up.
The tombstones pictured in many of these photographs were not damaged by the tornado. Photos taken by Holly Jenks and Deanna West.

Clean up efforts began a few weekends ago. Holly Jenks along with workers and the Hudson Tree Company of New Carlisle,Indiana
commenced removing debris and repairing. Below are a few photos of these efforts that are on going.
