Weeping Willow Cemetery in Bean Blossom
Weeping Willow Cemetery also known as Bean Blossom Cemetery and referred to in early pioneer history as Georgetown Cemetery - is a mixture of old and new sections.
For the inquiring minds...What happened to the Weeping Willow trees?? According to my dad who is a trustee of this cemetery they all died back in the late 1950's. We may try to replant some Weeping Willows next year to bring back the cemetery's namesake trees.
Enter this cemetery on gravel road off of SR 135
