some graves are present in wooded area to the immediate south-southwest. Some graves are enclosed by an iron fence
approximately 40 by 49 feet in size; another fence made with galvanized poles
and a single strand of chain encloses other graves. Historic plantings include oak trees,
periwinkle ground cover, and daffodils.
