Survey Description: Site consists of a small family cemetery
enclosed by a chain link fence. At least
six graves were identified on the basis of a variety of headstones. Observed headstones included five made of
cast cement, two uninscribed fieldstones, and one cut stone. While other graves may be present in the
cemetery, surface features indicative of graves were not identified during an
inspection of the site. All observed
graves and headstones were oriented to the east. The site appeared to be maintained and was
covered with mowed grass. Historic
plantings included yucca and periwinkle.
Four of the headstones were crafted of cement and featured rectangular
recessed areas near their bases. In the
recessed areas of two headstones were metal plates printed with the names of
the deceased. The fifth cement marker
exhibited the name of the deceased stenciled
in paint and covered with plate glass.
Site was field inspected, photographed, and headstone inscriptions were
transcribed. Site size was derived by
measuring the surrounding fence lines.
