This graveyard is located about 100 yards northeast of Daughertytown Road, 
north of Crisfield, MD.  It is on private property currently owned by Steve 
Cullen. It can be seen from the road by looking in a northeast direction 
for a cedar tree and holly tree after making the first hard right turn in 
the road.  The vegetation has been kept under control since the mid 1990’s, 
prior to when it became an overgrown jungle which had been totally abandoned. 
Some graves were damaged many years ago by machinery used to maintain the 
ditch next to it.  Some of the headstones have been re-erected, and efforts
are underway to restore as much of it as possible.  The first and third rows 
of graves are listed in order from south to north, and the center row is 
listed north to south.  (The notes in parenthesis are relationships, and are 
not inscribed on the grave stones).  

Annie E. BLAIR, wife of L. W. BLAIR, b. Oct 9, 1860, d. Feb 15, 1889
Day after day we saw her fade
And gently pass away
And often in our hearts we prayed
That she might longer stay
Farewell, farewell our Annie dear
Our life is sad without thee here
Oh may we meet in heaven above
Where all is joy and peace and love

The bond his love hath given,
And though the body molders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
