It is obvious that there are many additional burials in this cemetery, but headstone/footstones or other markings have disappeared. In several places, large depressions can be found which are assumed to be where crypts once existed and have caved in. About half of the headstone in this cemetery are broken, pushed over or both. Since the layout of this cemetery is difficult to describe, a rough map has been provided to show the approximate relation of the graves in the cemetery. In general, there is one portion of the cemetery, containing the Crutchers, which used to be surrounded by fencing. There are also two large walled areas in the cemetery that are assumed to be specific to certain Farley families and one smaller walled portion around the Bishops. The numbers in parenthesis correspond to the burial locations on the cemetery map. (1) CRUTCHER, William Henry 1893-1958 (2) CRUTCHER, Edgar 1896-1914 (3) Infants (next to Edgar Crutcher's stone) (4) One 'new' marble headstone was face down and thus could not be recorded. The size of the headstone usually has two people recorded.
