Other_Information:

A few graves of this cemetery is located on land of an owner that granted access to me several years ago. The majority of the cemetery is located on another person's land, and he denies access. It was very overgrown, and difficult to even walk through. It is not seen  from any public roads at all. Some of my ancestors are buried in this cemetery, but I live out of state, and only knew of their location within the past few years.
