This is a small family cemetery with 11 markers, a few old large marble tombstones over 6 ft tall and a few granite markers. The earliest marker is 1897 and the most recent is 1998. The marble tombstones are beautiful works of arts with heart- warming engravings. There appears to be some unmarked, unidentified graves as well. We apologize for any mistakes that may have been made. This research was done on a voluntary basis so those descendants of those interned in this cemetery may have a chance to find this information. As a novice in genealogy we would never have found our way in learning how to trace our ancestors if it were not for the many wonderful people who has given their time and organized volunteer sites with information like this. So this is our way of giving back; therefore we request that this material only be posted on free access sites. Do not use for any reason other than personal research, we retain all rights to material, it is not to be used on sites that charge for access.
