This cemetery was visited and photographed in November 2004 by Kip Boisot. There are many unmarked graves (some have a small white stone) and about 15 graves with markers.

Shirley Olson notes: No gate, many large oaks. All the monuments and all but one inscriptions face West. Some large and imposing, some very small. Years ranging from the mid 1800's to the 1990's. All are granite, except one cement casket-like marker which has the headstone reversed, that is, the inscription is on the East side instead of facing West as all the others do. None appear to have sunk.
