Compass Correspondent
Every time Judy and Ken Sikora waited at the traffic light at the intersection of Velp Avenue and Riverview Drive in Howard, they looked across at a large crucifix in the middle of a "big grass field." Cemented into the cross's base are 80-year-old tombstones.
The crucifix and the acre of land it stands on is the site of the Duck Creek Cemetery owned by St. John the Baptist Parish of Howard. Dating from the middle 19th century, it was the parish's original cemetery, said Rose Holland, St. John's cemetery sexton. Community and parish founders had been buried there.
