Cemetery is located on a farm off Highway 42. The stones had been leaning against 

an old Walnut Tree out in a "corn field" when the current owner purchased the 

farm. In an effort to preserve the history of the stones (and because they were 

not attached to the earth and he did not know exactly where they went) the 

current owner has moved the stones to the side wall of his garage. They are 

protected there from the harsh winds and hopefully vandals that may have 

destroyed them out in the field, as has happened to a cemetery on an ajoining 

farm. All three of these stones are in excellent condition. The type of stone and 

motif suggest that they 150 plus years old, but for whatever reason there is a 

lack of surface wear that makes them look almost brand new.
