Additional Comments:
This cemetery is at least 123 years old.  According to elderly neigbors to this 
cemetery, there are numerous graves that are no longer visible. It is in a 
condition of misuse and neglect. Legend is that the first burial or burials in 
this cemetery were either one or two--have heard both--daughter or daughters of 
a Mr. McConnell, who died in a house fire. There is no way of knowing if the 
two unmarked children slabs are these young girls and the two adult slabs are 
their parents, since they are unmarked.
