It is located at the end of West 1st Street off Buckman Street (Hwy 61). Approximately 50 yards north of the river bank in a heavily weeded and wooded section. Adjacent is a new saddle club being built with arena and all. The cemetery is nearly the size of a football field determined by the layout of the headstones. Access is easy as their is no fences or gates. Some graves have the original iron fencing surrounding them. Many headstones are toppled or broken. Some are remarkably in excellent condition (marble). The dates run from late 1700 to early 1900. I was not able at this time to transcribe all I wanted to but will return for more information. Below is a list of what I gathered prior to falling victim to the environ. My guess is there are about 75-100 grave sites. There does not seem to be a row pattern to the layout that could be determined. **Question marks denote illegibility. **All data is exactly as marked on headstones.
