Survey Description:
Site consists of a small family cemetery with at least 11
interments. Observed graves included two
with incised stone markers, three with metal markers, and six unmarked graves
visible as depressions in the ground surface.
Observed graves ranged in orientation from 90 to 110 degrees. Other graves might be present. Identification of graves in the cemetery was
hindered by dense vegetation. A fence
does not enclose site, and a cluster of iris was the only historic plantings
observed. Site is located about 15 feet
west of Route 612. Site was field
inspected and headstone inscriptions were transcribed. Site size was estimated by pacing the
horizontal extent of observed graves.

Additional Comments:
Assigned temporal period was based on death dates observed on grave
markers. These dates ranged from 1946
through 1970. However, the presence of
six unmarked graves and one grave with an illegible grave marker may reflect an
earlier or later use of the site. Site
is not marked on the
