Other_Information:

My GGF and GGM Birdwell and their 8 children and possibly spouses were buried at this site. Neighboor reports most graves exhumed circa 1975 and markers pushed to back of plot. I have personally seen one marker of Mary Catherine Birdwell Holt (1867-1896) Need information to restore this cemetery.
