A small cemetery with approximately 60 marked graves many have a piece of local stone hand cut as a grave marker.The stones, ones with engraving, date back into the early 1900's.

There is a Father and daughter team that have committed time to mowing the grass. They have also added flags and a sign. Local Geocahers are planning a C.I.T.O. to clear the taller brush and fallen tree limbs.>/P>
