This site consists of a small family cemetery containing ten
interments. Most graves were marked with
inscribed, granite headstones. One grave
was marked with an uninscribed cut stone marker, one was marked with an
uninscribed cement marker, and one grave was unmarked. All of the graves were oriented to the
southeast. A fence constructed of
chain-link fence with galvanized poles encloses the cemetery. Site appeared maintained and covered with
mowed grass. Yucca plants were
present. Site was field inspected,
photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed.. Site size was determined by measuring the
horizontal extent of the surrounding fence lines.
