<div class="entry-summary">A quarter of the tombstones were lying on the ground," he says, "Kids used to come here and kick them over.

The old cemetery, which has tombstones that date back to the 1600s, sits nestled right next to Antonik's Byram Shore home, so he couldn't help but notice the disrepair -- and that no one was doing anything about it.

[...] he began mowing the grass in the burying groung in the spring and summer, carefully driving his mower/tractor between the headstones.

The cemetery, it seems, serves as the final resting place for members of the Lyon family, which traces its roots in Greenwich back to 1676, when Thomas Lyon Sr. was granted 300 acres in the southern Byram region.

[...] the time that someone does pitch in, Antonik will keep on preserving this little plot of history.</div></div>]]>
