Survey Description: Site consists of a large, active cemetery with at least 126 interments enclosed by a chain link fence. Most interments are marked with inscribed marble and granite headstones, but some are marked with inscribed and uninscribed fieldstone markers. All graves are oriented to the southeast. Site is now covered with grass and few historic plantings are apparent on the site. Site does contain two cedar trees, one walnut tree and one maple tree. Site was field inspected, photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed and compared to previous site documentation. Site size was derived from local realty maps.
