Poyer Cemetery

Poyer Cemetery seems to have a couple of different names. However, there is no "official" sign on the property. This cemetery is located on State Route 113, in Berlin Township, between Anders and Wright roads, on the north side of the road. There is a house that appears to be attached to the property, but I was unable to find anyone home at the time of the shooting of the photographs here.

If you have any further information, or corrections on these transcriptions, please let me know, so I can make the proper changes. Thanks.
