     This cemetery is in an isolated area and very difficult to find 
after a 3/4 mile walk up a logging road.  It is off of the logging road 
a short distance, a quick walk back into the woods. It was abandoned a 
long time ago.  This cemetery contains the only grave site I've ever 
seen which has actually been robbed. The hole was not refilled, and the 
actual robbery appeared to have taken place many years ago.  It is the 
"spookiest" cemetery that I've ever visited and I don't spook easily!   
It also contained several grave sites marked only by rocks.
