It lies in Section 33, Township 5 North, Range l0 West. Most inscriptions were engraved into the slabs and not the headstones. A large tree has fallen on top of the slabs, breaking them into a myriad of puzzle pieces. There is an approximate two-foot high, moss-covered fence (coping) surrounding this family gravesite.
