Survey Description: This small cemetery contains 29 or 30 interments. All of the observed graves were oriented to the northeast (60 degrees) and each was marked with a headstone or memorial plaque. The graves have been enclosed on three sides with a post and wire fence, while the fourth sides is enclosed with chainlink and galvanized pole fence. Green Ridge Road (rt. 780) is located about 15 feet northwest of the cemetery. Site appeared to be well maintained and was covered with mowed grass. Large oaks and maples line the northwest side of the site. No other plantings were observed on the site. Site was field inspected, photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed and compared to previous site documentation. Site size was derived from the local realty map.

Additional Comments: Assigned temporal period was based upon the range of death dates (1898-1986) observed on headstones; however, the presence of three headstones without death dates may indicate an earlier or later use of the site. All of the interments were clustered in the northwest side of the site. Site has been marked on the USGS Salem map sheet and on the local realty maps.

This cemetery was surveyed by the RVHS and biographical information was documented from 11 headstones that either predated 1921 or were undated (1986: 231). The following biographical information was transcribed from headstones observed during the 1998 survey.
