Other Information
This cemetery was known to have at least three
stones in it at one time. Vandals broke one leaving only a piece and
stole another. One stone is remaining in tact. These stones have been
removed to the local farmhouse to keep them from being destroyed like
the others. There is nothing to show where the burials actually are
except for the knowledge of the property owners.
