There are graves that are unmarked and some graves being marked but with no inscription giving no indication of who may be buried there. Stones range from plan to popular Scaled down Victorian designs all the was to hand hewn Grave shelter/ Tables (Large Stone Boxes Covering entire length of grave). Some Vandalism over the years but repaired by various descendant thru the years. I do have photos of some of the markers listed above and some of those people buried there. Cemetery is in good order considering its age and is cared for by some descendants on ocassion . ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
