Cemetery History
What remains of this cemetery are in an overgrown wooded area next to a small ditch with corn fields on either side. All of the remaining tombstones and nearly all of the footstones are all now broken off and laying on the ground - some in pieces. Considering the placement of the remaining stones, there were probably many more burials and stones than can be found. First known burial is for the child, Mary Jane Turpin who died in 1820.
