          There is no spot in the cemetery where you can say 

for sure that there are unmarked graves. Near the southeast 

corner of the cleared area is a scattering of muscle shells. 

It is about grave size but is oriented north-south. If it is 

the remnant of a shell-covered grave, it is a very old one. 

There is a depression near the center which is the size of an 

infant/child burial. There is a clump of iris at one spot.
