Other Information
I would like to see this cemetery restored, if
at all possible. It's situated between buildings at our apartment
complex, in the middle of a strip of woods. There is a couple of paths
leading through and around the cemetery as well. As far as I know, one
child is buried there, a James W. Melvin, died 1876 at the age of 5.
