There's three cemeteries on Alton Mt.: Alton Mt Cemetery, Ellis, and Flanders. I'm familiar with Ellis - that's my family, and it's in excellent condition because that cemetery has perpetual care. I also have family buried in Alton Mt. Cemetery, but haven't been there for a long time - not sure of the condition of that one.
