Survey Description:
Site consists of a small family cemetery with at least nine graves. Observed graves included three with inscribed
marble markers, two with metal markers, and four unmarked graves identified on
the basis of ground surface depressions.
All of the observed graves were oriented to the northeast. Other graves may be present. Cemetery is not enclosed and is covered with
mowed grass. No historic plantings were
identified on the site. Site was field
inspected, photographed, and grave marker inscriptions were transcribed and
compared to previous documentation. Site
size was estimated by pacing the horizontal extent of the observed graves.

temporal period was based on the 1930 through 1969 range of death dates
inscribed on observed headstones. However,
the presence of uninscribed an illegible metal marker and unmarked graves may
reflect an earlier or later use of the site.
The cemetery is not marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet or on local
realty maps.
