Other Information
This pioneer cemetery is in bad
shape. With only one headstone standing, I was to get all the
information. Most of the headstones are broken and/or overturned,
There a lot of thick vegetation there, so I could not get proper
access to the headstones either. This one has been neglected for
years.
