________________________________________
This small, rural cemetery is comprised of approximately 25
tombstones.
Located next to an old barn, it was completely overgrown in June of
2007.
At that time, the only way to access any of the stones was with tenacity
and a machete.
In October 2007, the land was cleared and there was full access to the entire
cemetery.
See here for a "before" and
"after" of one select marker.
