Site consists of a small family cemetery with 17 graves. Identified graves included one inscribed
obelisk, three metal markers, 11 with uninscribed fieldstones, and two unmarked

and wire mesh fence that measures 40 by 44 feet. The other five graves are enclosed by a
deteriorated post and wire mesh fence that measures 15 by 27 feet. All of the observed graves ranged in
orientation from 102 to 118 degrees southeast.

were transcribed and compared to previous documentation. Site size was estimated by pacing the
horizontal extent of the observed graves.
