Condition:
This cemetery is partially fenced but not mowed or maintained. It
is in a square of trees in the middle of a large field. Many big rocks
have been piled around the edges. The inside is overgrown with weeds and thick
briars. In 2008 there were many large blue plastic pipes piled in the cemetery
on top of stones. No stones are standing and most tablet stones are
broken. There is also a pile of stones along the edge of the cemetery
that was not there in 2005. This cemetery is in danger and badly needs
restoration and maintenance.
