Inside the entrance of the Akers Cemetery there are three fieldstones in a row.  Irene Akers Vest

believes they may be infant children of Demorse and Landonia Akers.  In the lower right corner

there are two more fieldstones and maybe a head and foot stone.  Irene could not remember

who was buried there, but probably in infant.
