Add PhotosInformation for this cemetery comes from a 1944 reading of the cemetery by the DAR. The DAR notes for the cemetery state, "The church which was nearby has long been torn down and the cemetery has been abandoned since about 1900. There are a number of unmarked graves. Several of the Holderby family have been moved from here to Huntington. When the present owner of the land, Mr. VanHoose, bought the place the stones were flat on the ground and it was impossible to tell where they belonged. He gathered them together and placed them inside the Dunkle lot which is surrounded by a stone wall."
Today there is nothing left of the cemetery. I was told by a relative who is a neighbor of the present owner that the remaining unbroken stones were sold years ago to a friend of the owner to be used as decorations at the friend's restaurant somewhere in Ohio.
