UNKNOWN CEMETERY, East Croft Circle
Located on East Croft Circle, this cemetery had
several markers but was bulldozed in the 1970's by an unscrupulous
developer intent on building low income housing on the site. The
US Army carefully
avoided disturbing the area during the construction of Camp Croft in
the 1940's. Recent information indicates this may be the Powell
Family Cemetery and contains as many as 24 graves. Here is an interesting image,
taken in 1946 as the camp was being dismantled. You can see the
foundations of the barracks and mess halls on the right of the
photo. The buildings in the regimental area are, of course, now
gone and replaced by apartments. What is believed to be the
cemetery is denoted by the red arrow. From the photo above, you
can see that nothing as ever built on this portion of the property.
