The cemetery is about 120 ft. by 220 ft. in size, in the middle of the Section, north-west corner of the woods. There are no major roads to the plot, and it can not be seen from the road. Italics above means, I could not read the stone or just a note about the stones. The Cemetery is mowed several times each year.
 

The following map is a layout of the stones 1 thru 55. The numbers below the stone numbers is the approximate feet between the each stone – example: 30’.
