When I transcribed this cemetery about 5 years ago, it was in very poor
condition. It was originally fenced off, but the fence was down and cattle
had been in it. At least 1/2 the stones were broken off and it may be
possible there were additional stones, but were covered by dirt and I
didn't see them.
