Survey Description:
Site consists of a family cemetery with five interments. All of the graves were aligned in a single
row and individual graves were oriented to the southeast (116 degrees). Plastic flowers marked the heads of all
graves. Two of the graves were also
marked with legible metal markers, one grave was marked with an illegible metal
marker, and two graves did not have markers bearing biographical
information. Cemetery is located in a
young deciduous-pine forest; however, the site and a pathway leading to it were
mowed. Site was field inspected,
photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed. Site size was estimated by pacing the
horizontal extent of observed graves.

Additional Comments: Available evidence suggests the
cemetery dates to the 20th century and possibly to the 2nd half of the 20th
century. Death dates on two markers were
1969 & 1986, but the presence of three other graves without markers bearing
death dates may reflect an earlier or later use of the site. Site is not marked on the
