Note:  This cemetery contains the graves of two different individual markers
for persons burned to death.  The marker for Jon. W. Day and Robt. H. Clark -
they perished in a house fire April 12, 1918 (we have an error in death date).
Also, Mr. & Mrs. John D. Felker died in a car accident on Nov 11, 1977 (the
car burned).  Unusual for such a small cemetery to have two such accidents.
