Survey Description:
Site consists of a small family cemetery with 27 graves. Observed graves included seven marked with
inscribed cement markers, three with inscribed granite or marble markers, three
with inscribed headstones and uninscribed footstones, eleven with uninscribed
fieldstone markers, two with metal markers, and one with a metal marker and
uninscribed fieldstone. All of the
observed graves were oriented to the east and southeast. Other graves may be present. Graves are not enclosed by a fence. Historic plantings include oak and cedar
trees. 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 1906 through 1995 range of death dates
inscribed on observed headstones.
However, the presence of uninscribed fieldstone markers may reflect an
earlier use of the site. The cemetery is
not marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet or on local realty. Site is located closed to the boundary
between parcels 107.00-2-3 and 107.00-2-2.
Headstones observed in the cemetery include a number of well crafted
cement markers. When the site was
surveyed, three graves had been recently cleaned, scraped and decorated with
red, plastic flowers.
This cemetery was initially surveyed by RVHS and designated
as the “Hartman Cemetery II.” The report
documented biographical information derived from inscriptions on five
headstones that predated 1921 (1986:
134). All of the headstones
recorded by RVHS were also observed during the 1998 survey.
