The
Collegeport Cemetery is a large open space facing the bay, but there's
a huge expanse of land and only about 20 graves. |

Grave

One
grave, interestingly enough, is that of a Civil War soldier - a Northerner
from Ohio.
The grave below is that of a 16 year-old-girl who died in 1924. Nearby
is her grandmother's grave with the date of death being 1922.
