The cemetery was fenced by Hillard Belcher, son of Roma Potter Belcher, in the 1960s. The cemetery was fenced again in the 1970s by the Louella Belcher Swiney family, daughter of Roma Potter Belcher, in the same fencing as above. The road was changed about 1996 when logging was done. Currently Jay May, husband of Martha Belcher May, the youngest daughter of Roma Potter Belcher, is fencing the cemetery with supplies donated by Lola Belcher Veto, daughter of Roma Potter Belcher. The fence was changed to include the graves previously not accessible. ******************************* And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.
