Survey Description:
Site consists of a small cemetery with at least eight graves. One of the identified graves had a cement
headstone, another had a government issue marble marker for military duty, and
another was marked with an uninscribed fieldstone. The remainder of the graves were
unmarked. Additional graves are likely
present. Identified graves were
clustered in an area that measured 23 by 29 feet. A pine forest covers most of the site, and
landscaping associated with the Glen Ivy condominiums has covered the
northeastern side. No historic plantings
were identified. Site was field
inspected, photographed, and grave marker inscriptions were transcribed and
compared to previous documentation. Site
size was derived from local realty maps.

temporal period was based on the 1952 date on the only inscribed
headstone. However, the presence of
uninscribed fieldstone markers and unmarked graves may reflect an earlier or
later use of the site. A standing
fieldstone marker was identified on one grave, but two stones lying near two of
the other graves may represent dislodged fieldstone markers. The cemetery is not marked on the
