Cemetery Notes
Cemetery is well maintained with white fence around it. There are 3 stones unmarked and owner doesn't know who they may be. In 1967 J. Robert Swank wrote; Indians said to be buried in this cemetery. It is reported that Gypsies had a burial plot on Coopers Mountain. Mr. Cooper did not know about Indians or Gypsies buried in the area. Coopers Mountain was also known as Giants Grave Mountain. Mr. Cooper indicated that a lady looked at the mountain and said - it looks like a giants grave.
