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.

The Bird Cemetery is a magnificently preserved 19th century cemetery. It is located away from the nearest public road by a mile or so. It is within an active farm field and surrounded by a four foot chain link fence with one gate. All visible gravestones are upright and in good to very good condition, considering their age. Several stones appear to have had modern cleaning and repairs done to them. Thanks to whomever is this cemetery's "guardian angel". The cemetery was initiated by the family of John Bird (1795-1868) and continued to be exclusively a family burial ground, until the interment of Hattie Hurst (d. 1873) and William Z Smith (d. Unknown).

Those buried here are:

John Bird

Mary Jones Bird (John's mother)

Eight of John's twelve children and their families.

There are several small stone markers that are either blank or bear only initials.

If you do visit the cemetery, please be aware that it is in an active farm field and may not be accessible. Winter and early spring are the best times to visit. Otherwise, farm activity may prevent entrance or the height of the crop could prevent seeing/finding the cemetery at all.
