Additional Comments: Assigned temporal period based on death dates observed on headstones. Death dates range from 1918 through 1995. The presence of one grave missing its headstone may indicate an earlier use of the site. Site is marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet, but is not marked on local realty maps. This cemetery was surveyed by the RVHS and their report documented biographical information transcribed from a single headstone which predated 1921 (1986: 3).
