The FindAGrave entry for this cemetery is so messed up, that I have deliberately left out the link to it! It lists 106 graves when this small walled area can only hold about 20 graves. Turns out that the contributor has added all of the graves for the nearby Secondine Cemetery -- a half mile away -- which has its own FindAGrave entry (with 66 graves), plus (perhaps) some of the 20 that are here, plus a LOT of redundancy in unknown graves and other repetitions.

Also, the entries do NOT include some of the graves that can be seen from my photos, such as that for "Maria L. Dau of C.R. & M.E. Armstrong, born Sep. 14, 1854, died Dec. 16, 1882" and the other two Armstrongs visible beyond that grave in my photo.

With so much misinformation, it is not clear what the oldest or newest grave was, but the cemetery has no more room for burials. Though its wall is broken down in one corner, it does seem to be kept weeded, and the grave markers have not been vandalized.
