you might never knew existed. Soldiers from the 1800s are buried right in the middle of a West Farms neighborhood. "If you're passing by in a car and you blink your eyes, you sort of miss it," said Lloyd Ultan, the Bronx Borough Historian."When we were kids, we were scared of it," said resident Steven Cancel.
"Not a lot of people in the Bronx know about this history right here, and it's in the middle smack of the Bronx," said Cancel. "It speaks a lot for the community of West Farms. In the sense how patriotic they were in those four wars they had people who volunteered for service and that many in the Civil War," said Ultan.
"Cared for neglected, cared for neglected, it goes through that cycle, it has a history of going through that cycle," explained Ultan.
