Condition:
This cemetery was plowed under between 1935 and 1940. The farmer removed
the stones so he could plow the area more easily. Some of the gravestones
are said to have been used as stepping-stones to his barn. There are
no records of names or photographs of the cemetery. It appears on a
Belleville map in the 1878 Atlas.
