Transcription Notes
It appears there is about an acre of land which could be used for cemetery. It is not taken care of and the weeds were shoulder height, plus the badger and squirrel holes make walking difficult. Amazingly the headstones were not too difficult to read. I visited and surveyed this cemetery on Oct 02, 1999. Maggie Rail
