Princeton

 Princeton Cemetery is where My great Great great grandfather George D.
Crosson is buried. He has a military stone in Princeton Cemetery. I am
greatly saddened about what has happened in this cemetery. My thoughts
and prayers go to the family who have been targeted by this hateful
vandalism.

George D. Crosson

Fox Four has this to say

"More
than 40 grave headstones dating back to the 1900s were recently pushed
over and destroyed in Collin County in what grieving families are saying
is the ultimate disgrace.

The vandalism happened last weekend in the town of Princeton.

Volunteers from the cemetery think teens may be responsible, but Princeton police are without any suspects so far.

Margaret
Cantu feels speechless over the desecration done to the headstone of
her son, Marcus. He died at 33 after falling and hitting his head.

“Do they know?” said Cantu. “Do they even comprehend what they have done?”

The vandals pushed his headstone to the ground.

“It hurts to see it like that,” said Cantu.

Three of Clifton Mayfield's family members were also targeted.

“When you disrespect a living person, it’s one thing; but when you disrespect the dead people, it’s bad,” said Mayfield.

In total, 44 graves were vandalized, and almost half of them date back to 1929.

To make things worse, the cemetery runs on donations, so families will likely have to pay for the damage.

“I live on a government check, penny to penny, and I don't know how I’m able to fix it,” said Cantu.

In
response to the vandalism, community members have put up new fencing,
and police have increased patrols by the cemetery, especially at night.

Volunteer firefighters and police officers also plan try and fix whatever damage they can.
