The following is the original enumeration of the older cemetery that appears to be abandoned. The cemetery is about 1/10 mile up the hill. The road going up the hill is quite eroded and a truck is needed to go there. By permission, I am including this enumeration on my web site. The enumerating was done by someone else.
