Comments: Access is through a very steep field of Christmas trees. Evidence of some 30 graves marked with field stones. The cemetery is fenced, but the fence is in poor condition and the cemetery is not maintained. This cemetery is near the Davis Cemetery on Mud Creek. Calvin Davis’ children are buried here.
