Someone recently left a crying-eye planchette at the Ouija board headstone of patentee Elijah Jefferson Bond.
[Mike Gassmann, 12/12/2017]Stop at the main office and they will give you a map of the cemetery with graves of note marked on it. The Ouija Board grave isn't on the pamphlet, but the woman working that day circled it on the map for us and told us they were thinking about adding it because a lot of people come to see it. The map was very helpful.

This was not easy to find but well worth it. With the help of the caretaker we got great pics.
