Other_Information:
I found out about this cemetary and called the owner of the farm, Ms.
Pat Shely, asking permission to come and see them. She was very nice
and even drove me back into the fields were they were located. She is
elderly and in bad health, and related to me that her heirs were going
to divide the property into 5 acre tracts upon her death. This
has prompted me to take this action to this website, hoping that
something can be done to preserve or mark these gravesites. If I
find any more information on these two cemetaries, I will pass the
information along.
