Note: Cemetery is neglected and unkept. Some of these tombstones were hard to find and, because of high weeds and thick ground cover, there may have been other tombstones we missed although we made a diligent search. The tombstones we did find were spread out over a large area with many sunken, unmarked graves in between. There are far more unmarked graves in the cemetery, than marked graves. If anyone has family members buried here which are not on the list, please E-MAIL us. If you can send us an obituary or death certificate indicating this cemetery as place of burial, we'll add them to the list. |
