A number of grave markers and head stones were found knocked over at the Calvary Cemetery on North Main Street Extension in Butler Township.
Township police received a report about the toppled stones on Tuesday, May 28, and are investigating.
Danielle Scherer said she walks in the cemetery a couple times a week and noticed some of the stones out of place that day. Among them are those marking the graves of her husband’s grandparents, she said.
“It’s a shame. It’s such a beautiful place. It’s beautifully landscaped, and it’s a shame to see something like that happen,” Scherer said.
She some of the markers were knocked down and left several feet away from their bases.
Cemetery officials could not be reached for comment Friday.
