This tiny family cemetery is located in the city right of way between the very large General Booth Plaza shopping center and the heavily traveled General Booth Boulevard. It is not near a Church and it has no fences like a normal cemetery. It is only twenty feet from the boulevard.

Three tombstones and two markers form the cemetary. The first person buried was Herbert Austin Ward in 1948, he was a member of the United States Navy Reserve during World War II. His parents were also buried there. First his mother, Caroline Ward, in 1965 and later, his father, Russell Ward, in 1974. There is unfortunately no information for the two markers.

Here are the texts written on the tombstones :
