This damage (destruction of Canisteo family memorials) done to Hillside's Older Cemetery July 16, 2010 between 4pm and 7pm...(in daylight).  3 new markers were vandalised a week later ALL in the new upper section.

MOST of these have been re-erected...

Pictured here are ONLY the larger markers,  all average 700 to 1000 lbs. and requiring hiring heavy equipment to re-stand them.

The largest markers weigh close to a ton (Goff, Martin), and one has been pushed over a steep bank.   Markers this size would most

likely require rocking by even a large person -

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS behavior.
