Located and surveyed by James Nash, Mar 11, 1921.   Abandoned and overgrown.

Surveyed by Herbert H. McCarter November 27, 1999.   At this time the landowner had made a hay field out of this property and looks like he had cleaned up the underbrush around the graves.   Some of the markers are broken and laying flat on the ground.   If they are not kept clear of grass and underbrush they will soon be covered and lost.
