Other_Information:
This old cemetery is in very bad condition. Visiting for the
first time in March 2003. I found where trees,limbs and brush
had over grown the complete cemetery. I hired men to go in & cut
the trees & clean as best as they could as they are covered with
years of debris. Many of the markers & crypts need to be
straightened.
