This old cemetery in south Taylor County was slowly returning to nature but the folks in the local area got together and removed trash, cut brush, filled holes and reset some of the head stones. Some new stones (6) for old graves were placed and there were two new burials since the last inventory. The 1977 inventory showed 32 legible grave stones and now there forty that can be read. There had been no real maintenance for several years and this cleanup/fix up is a welcome sight. Although the last burial was in 1998, this cemetery listing is considered updated through the year 2000. There is a list of burials in the Archives.
