Comments: This cemetery lies on a hill in a pasture. It is fenced, well-maintained, and is clearly visible from the road. There appear to be some unmarked graves in the second row in addition to the marked graves listed below. This cemetery was previously identified as the David Cox Cemetery probably because it was on the land of David Cox.
