cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale, adding additional
burials, some due to new stones erected on older graves. Due
to a fairly thorough cleanup of the cemetery we re surveyed this
cemetery on 12 Jan 2000. We have visited here several times as
the years go on. We visited the site again on 20 Dec 2003 and
took the GPS readings. We also did a re walk of the cemetery
adding new burials and noting marker changes."
