This Cemetery dates back to the 1830's. There are graves that are unmarked and some graves being
marked but with no inscription giving no indication of who may be buried there. Stones range from
plan to popular Scaled down Victorian designs all the was to hand hewn Grave shelter/ Tables
(Large Stone Boxes Covering entire length of grave). Some Vandalism over the years but repaired
by various descendant thru the years. I do have photos of some of the markers listed above and
some of those people buried there. Cemetery is in good order considering its age and is cared for by
some descendants on ocassion .
