This plot contains a full quarter acre of land and is covered over with very 
pretty old red oaks, cedar and walnut trees and running honeysuckle.  Two stones 
are especially noticeable as they are forty three inches wide by seventy-eight 
inches long and have beveled edges.  They rest flat on bricked up graves and the 
carving is still very distinct and regular.

Another stone, very large, covers a sunken brick vault about six feet square.
