This cemetery was
taken over by the forest many years ago. Currently the area is heavily
overgrown and covered by many fallen trees. My understanding is that over the
course of time many of the original burials have been removed and reintered in other cemeteries. As we walked through the
area we noticed a couple holes that could have been left after a grave was
removed. We did not confirm this. The remaining marked burials were toward the
back of the cemeteries area and on either side of the central ridge in the
cemetery. The area has not been maintained in a very long time.

cemetery compilation lists this cemetery as:
