Other_Information:
The cemetery includes mass graves of Union and Confederate
Soldiers. Trees are growing in the graves. Trees have
fallen obstructing other graves. Most graves are marked by simple
field stones. This is an historical cemetery that has been
neglected and is deteriorating. It is on private property and
rarely visited, so only the "older" generations who visit this cemetery
will be aware of its demise. It can only be accessed with
permission from the land owner. However, the access road ("Old
Military Road") is a public road that cuts through the property.
The road is blocked by a locked gate.
