Cemetery Notes
Cemetery is well maintained and surrounded by an iron fence. Sections were re-recorded as previously layed out - an area was marked off in fifty foot sections. Starting at the gate entrance, rows were recorded from front to back, and headstones recorded from left to right. There are dozens of unmarked fieldstones and broken stones. These are mainly located in the central section of the cemetery. Many of these stones are in German with one of the showing a death in 1797. Also in the central section of the cemetery is an open area which obviously contains many unmarked graves.
