Other Information
There are some sunken graves and it looks like
there were several family plots at one time. This cemetery is in a
wooded area just south of a parking lot that belongs to some small,
brown brick buildings. I'm not sure what these buildings are used for.
New homes are being built to the west of the cemetery.
