I am very pleased by this news. I feared the cemetery might be lost.

morrigan - yes, that is the same cemetery that you are thinking of (only the building was the ywca, not the ymca).

Very cool. It's about time. Most people don't even know it is there.

Question for longtime residents: is this near the YMCA that is/was on Oberlin Rd? When I first moved here, I noticed a small graveyard near the parking lot, but as cemeteries are quite commonly small plots (as opposed to up North, IDK why), thought no more about it.
