"The Kurtz family graveyard is on the farm of Harrison E. Kling in Earl township, about two miles east of Rowland's Reformed church. The graveyard, 30 by 30 feet, is surrounded by a stone wall, four feet high, with a cement coping, but no entrance. (Obviously the coffins had to be lifted over the wall). The graveyard, which is about 600 feet north of "Peter's Road," receives no attention whatsoever and, naturally, is in a sadly neglected state. A wild cherry and several locust trees are growing in the enclosures, as well as blackberry brambles and weeds in profusion. At the time of our visit, April 27, 1935, there were twenty-two head stones and seventeen foot stones in position."
----------
The cemetery was restored by Barry Eitner in conjunction with Pioneer Seed Co. in 1998, and the stone wall was removed. No footstones remained at the time of the contributor's visit in 2008.
