"This half acre cemetery was established in 1884 for inmates
who died or were executed. they had no next of kin, or the next
of kin refused the remains. On the back row are the graves of 14
German prisoners of war who were hanged in 1945 for crimes committed
while POWs. No family members are buried here."
