Transcription notes:

“There is no name on this cemetery, so I named it after the property owners. There were very few graves left of the original pioneers who were buried here.”

“I spoke with Mrs. Telecky on whose farm it is located. She says the reason for disbanning it was the rock shelf below the soil made it impossible to dig 6 feet for burial. None of the graves are that deep so many were moved to other cemeteries. There are some without head stones, but these still remain.”

“The following is what I found when I visited and read this cemetery on May 26, 1999.”
