Additional Comments:
Jesse Lewis Tanner cleaned this cemetery about 2003, if not for his hard work 
this cemetery would have been lost to the woods. Mr. Tanner and Billy & Jean 
Doolittle and a few others are working hard to get an easy access road to the 
site. There is evidence of about 100 graves with no markers. The wooden 
headmarkers are still in place. I've been to the cemetery a number of times.
