The correct name of this cemetery was submitted by Carol Robb, April 3, 2009, whose family purchased the property several years ago, without knowledge that a cemetery was located on the property. They have spent more than ten years clearing and cleaning this cemetery.

I tip my hat to them for their hard work.
