Survey Description:
Site consists of a small cemetery in a poor state of preservation. Cemetery borders two property lines in a
residential development and is covered with a lawn and a rose bed. A minimum of six interments were observed;
however, given the condition of the cemetery it is very likely that additional
graves exist. Five graves were marked
with fragments of uninscribed fieldstone markers and one grave was marked by
fragments of a marble marker. Subtle
ground surface depressions may indicate the location of three other graves; however, it is possible
that previous landscaping activities on the site have obscured surface
indications of other graves. A rose bed
that measures approximately 2 by 35 feet in size was located on part of the
site. Site was field inspected, and site
size was estimated by pacing the horizontal extent of observed graves.

the only known documentation of the site.

preservation, and stated “...there are many fieldstones, but only one with an
inscription, and it is prostate. It has clasped hand at the top and reads:
