Man Tries to Save Cemetery From Being Washed Away
A man in Dorchester County is trying to save a historic cemetery that is on the verge of being swept into the Chesapeake Bay.
Donald Willey has been working for eight years to save the Anchor of Hope Cemetery on Hooper's Island. He has cleared away the trees and brush that have covered the cemetery for years.

Willey says so far he has uncovered some 150 graves. The oldest graves dates back to 1805.
