South Cemetery is located on U.S. Route 5 about 4 miles south of downtown Barton village.
This cemetery is in reasonably good condition and is still in use, although use is limited primarily
to the ancestors using up remaining available space.
This cemetery is surrounded on 3 sides by wire mesh fencing between white posts;
the east side is white rail fencing. Dimensions are 300 feet north/south and about 150 feet east/west.
Nestling quietly in a very pastoral setting, one sees nearby farmhouses and hears the gentle murmur
of a small brook just on the opposite side of the quiet side road entrance.
The map of stone locations at the end of this listing is NOT to scale but will allow
the user a nearly approximate location for each grave.
