Notes: Ten cedars and on magnolia tree are enclosed within about a three foot wire fence, partly lying on the ground, levees around the cemetery. This was the only marker found, however, there were some depressions within this fence which indicates there were other graves. It is possible that the remains have been removed to Greensburg Cemetery where other members of this same family are buried.
