Notes |
In 1967, J. Robert Swank recorded this cemetery and
made a notation on his paper that "there are quite a few unmarked graves." Some
of the "Remarks" are from J. Robert Swank and were included when he recorded
this cemetery. The rows start at the top of the hill (older section) to the bottom (newer
section) and from left to right. The cemetery is well kept. |
