Cemetery & Marker Photographs by Danny Gillespie
Several graves (?) - perhaps just the headstones - have been moved to other cemeteries. The cemetery has recently been fenced with contributions from
the family. Many, many unmarked graves are there.
There are only five legible stones are in the cemetery. There are multiple native stone marked graves.
