Note regarding this cemetery -- There are some graves on the edge of the cemetery, an area now overgrown with trees. Unfortunately, no one knows how many people may be buried there, speculation is 3 � 4 maybe more. 

Only one grave has a marker and that is for Leny Zazula 1959 - 1959

Included by Stacey Starkell are a couple of photos of Leny�s marker that is in that bush, and a couple of photos from further back to show the location of the bush where these unmarked graves are located, as follows.
