About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery started out as a family cemetery on private property. Family members and close friends and others used it. And kept it maintained. Time passed, family left or died off, and property sold. The cemetery became neglected, then abandoned. It used to be fenced off from the surrounding pasture. Underbrush grew up then trees, falling limbs fell and broke and destroyed head stones and the fence went away through neglect. Now its all a pasture, albeit wooded. Many grave sites are still visible but go unmarked and unidentified. There are a few stones which were manufactured,(not homemade)Those can still be read and identified for now. I have found 7. and have indexed them w/pictures. That's the best I can do....

You will notice the stone standing upright against the tree in the middle of the third picture. I dug it out of the ground cleaned it off and set it there. It was lying down almost completely covered with earth...
