Comments:  This is an old cemetery. The land owner has erected a barbed-wire fence to keep the cattle out of the cemetery. Pokeberries cover the cemetery so that it is impossible to tell how many field stones are in the plot although four were visible from the fence line. The large family marker is tilting at a precarious angle and will soon fall if it is not repaired. Information below is taken from that single monument.
