Located on a gently-sloping hill in the edge of moderate woodland,
adjacent to an old roadbed that runs north and south. The road
obviously hasn't been used in quite some time, for there are large trees
growing within it. Only one grave was identifiable, while two or three
native rocks nearby could have possibly been grave markers, although no
identification was evident. There were also one or two old rose bushes
and otoher vestiges of cemetery adornment growing among the vines and
trees.

An earlier visitor reported finding two additional identifiable graves,
plus an initialed footstone, which have apparently been covered by
debris on the forest floor.
