It is marked, but tends to get a bit over-grown. This leads to the use of a bush-hog to re-gain control, but unfortunately this also leads to the displacement of stones, etc. The inventory done in 1974, & published in the Cemetery book by Chalman Green has many more names than we can currently find by walking through this cemetery now days. It would be virtually impossible to give this inventory in rows, so I've just listed them as we found stones. It is really very haphazard now, & it is obvious from piles of fieldstone, sunken areas, etc. that many more graves exist in this small cemetery. 1. William Oskar Crow son of M. F. & C.
