Stetson Cemetery
Location: set back in woods near Airport and Railroad tracks.
Today, the Stetson Cemetery has fallen into abject
disarray, most of the stones have fallen down, and the entire cemetery
is covered with large brush, trees, and bushes. The transcriptions from
the 1890s proves invaluable today, as most of the stones have been
broken with pieces missing. I am including photographs of all the
stones I could find, click on the deceased's name for an image of the
gravestone and more information.
