Survey Description:
Site consists of a family cemetery with ten interments. Observed graves include two marked with an inscribed
double headstone, seven marked with metal markers, and one recent interment not
yet marked. The inscription on one of
the metal markers was not legible.
Orientation of the graves ranged from 60 to 65 degrees. Site appears to be located at the eastern
edge of a yard in front of an abandoned house.
Site is covered with mowed grass and no historic plantings were
observed. At the eastern boundary of the
cemetery two survey stakes were observed.
One of these wooden stakes was marked “COR. PROPOSED CEMETERY” and the
other was marked “CEM. 9-7-93.”
Obviously, this suggests the cemetery was surveyed in the recent past,
but the bounds have not been included on local real estate maps. The alignment of the survey stakes and graves
suggests the northeast - southwest site dimension may be 100 feet. However,
no other survey stakes were observed so it is not know of the southeast
– northwest dimension of the site is larger than documented in this
report. Site was field inspected,
photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed. Site size was estimated by pacing the
horizontal extent of observed graves.

temporal period was based on death dates observed on grave markers and
informants’ reports of the recent interments.
The earliest death date observed on legible markers is 1948. The presence of one illegible marker may
represent an earlier use of the site.
