This cemetery has no sign, but topographic maps have it as just the Parn Cemetery. A search for one of the graves in FindAGrave found the cemetery listed as Perkins-Parn (link below). In either case it's interesting because there are no recorded burials for a Parn. There are a bunch of Perkins and even more for Burgin family members.
At the time of this waymark posting there were 7 graves missing death dates -- over 17% -- but the oldest record grave was from 1876 and the newest was from 1957.
The cemetery is essentially a part of the yard at a private dwelling, so be respectful (as you usually should at any cemetery) and respect their property. I parked on the gravel road that forms the southern part of the "triangle" of roads, rather than on Highway 102, so as to walk immediately to the cemetery portion without having to cross other parts of the yard.
