Some of these graves were not found by me but were found at a different time by others and recorded. The cemetery is now very overgrown and dead trees have fallen across some of the graves, possibly covering some that I missed. There are several marked sites with no name or date. There are some very pretty and unique headstones in the cemetery. The information herein was gathered on 8 Jul 1999 by: Paul McDonald, Jr. 716 Evergreen Rd.
