There is massive construction going on all around the cemetery site, huge houses, lots of them. The property owners, KCR Developers, LLC, has treated the cemetery with respect and left it in place. The cemetery is very small and no longer in use.

Most of the interred are buried under small imbedded rocks that serve as markers, with one large tombstone bearing all of the names. There are 2 separate headstones which repeat 2 of the names appearing on the large tombstone.
