Located and existing stones transcribed June 2003 by Brandon Burns

The cemetery is very grown up and all of the stones are broken off their bases. It is not fenced.

These same three stones, with the same dates were also submitted by Jerry Stephenson

In September of 2010 Ted Roller and Donna Cooper visited this cemetery and took the photos for all three stones. There are no other stones there.
