DESCRIPTION:

This is a public cemetery and is one of the nicest in Highland.  It is enclosed 
with a good fence, and is covered with a nice sod and grass which is kept mown 
off.  The markers are in their proper position, and the ground is being kept as 
level as possible.  It covers approximately three-fourths acres of ground.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The oldest graves to not have markers with inscriptions.  The oldest inscription 
being 1856.  The cemetery was used before this time, although it is not quite as 
old as some of the private graveyards around the village of Doe Hill.  Yet, 
quite a few of the early settlers were buried here.
