DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is located a very short distance west of “Denmark” and the  
Wheeler home is on the edge of the yard and garden.  It covers a very small 
piece of ground, and the side next to the house has a wire fence around it, but 
it is not enclosed on the other three sides.  It does not have any shrubbery, 
trees or flowers, but has the appearance of the edge of a field, except for the 
mounds of six graves and the small stones at the head and foot of each grave.
