Roads

Roads, Alleys

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Roads, Alleys (1): Most of the laws relating to highways apply to cemetery roads and alleys, excepting that when a road or alley in a cemetery is vacated the land reverts to the cemetery instead of becoming parts of the adjoining lots.790 In most of the States a road can not be laid out through or take a part of a cemetery.791 But a public highway may be established through a cemetery by user, the same as over other lands.792
