This small family cemetery was all but destroyed by Hurricane Ike in 2008. The
stones remain but some have been moved from their original places. The Simpton
home, destroyed by the Great Storm of 1900, stood close to this location. It's 
about a half mile southwest of Port Bolivar Cemetery.

The earliest known burial is George and the last is Helen.
