Survey Description: This cemetery contains at least 52
graves. The graves include 20 marked
with inscribed granite, marble, metal, or cement headstones; 16 marked with
uninscribed fieldstone markers; and at least 16 unmarked graves. Dense vegetation hindered the identification
of graves and markers in the western part of the site. Other graves may be present. Also, the vegetation may have covered small
or fallen fieldstone markers associated with graves that were observed and
counted as unmarked graves. Recent
burials occur in the eastern part of the cemetery that is maintained and
covered with mowed grass. This part of
the cemetery is still in active use. The
cemetery is not enclosed by a fence.
Plantings include yucca, periwinkle, and cedar trees. Daffodils and dwarf junipers are also present
in the eastern part of the site. Site
was field inspected, photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed
and compared to previous site documentation.
Site size was derived from local realty maps.

Additional Comments: Assigned temporal period was based on
death dates inscribed on observed headstones.
These dates range from 1880 through 1994. However, the presence of unmarked graves and
uninscribed fieldstone markers may indicate an earlier use of the site. Site is marked on the USGS Garden City map
sheet and on local realty maps. On the
USGS map sheet the cemetery is labeled as the “Hartman cemetery.”
This cemetery was surveyed by the RVHS and documented as the
“Hartman V” cemetery (1986: 135). A large number of cemeteries in the local
area are collectively referred to as the Hartman Cemeteries and this causes
some confusion when trying to differentiate one from another. Members of the Hartman family that were
encountered during the 1998 survey considered the use of numeric designations
for their family cemeteries unappealing.
Therefore, this cemetery was renamed the
