The cemetery is located on the right hand side of the road. There is only a small sign to tell of the location of the cemetery. It is down hill from the road. This cemetery is well cared for and maintained. The path leading to the cemetery is mowed. Many of the markers are field stones with the information scratched into them and painted over. There are some field stones with no marks or names on them. Some field stones seemed to serve as foot markers and others as headstones. If any mistakes were made I apologize for the error. This reading was taken in the Fall of 1999.Linda L. (Friesel) Carpenter .
