Upper area of graveyard looking down to water.
South North
Located approx. ½ mile from corner where Pentecostal
Church is situated off Rt. 772.
Fall of 1989 the bushes were cut away from around and in
the cemetery, although some stones at the top are still not in their rightful
place. There are very few burials being performed here now.
