In a small out of the way graveyard between a half mile and one mile West of the stoplight at 8th St and Green St. are the following tombstones. Green St is also Highway 6 when you get outside of town. There is not an actual driveway and it is quite a hike in North from the road. Currently there is a cleared path but it is not always kept up. Unfortunately someone has taken a bulldozer in there to clear away some of the overgrowth of saplings and weeds but have also done quite a bit of damage to the stones. Many are broken beyond readability and it is unknown if any were completely buried. Beginning with the southwestern most stone and working North along each row: Name Birth Date Death Date Other Information Row 1: Isaac Sutherland May 4, 1877 Husband of Marc??
