"The cemetery is open to the public. If the gate is open, the cemetery is open. There are mostly unmarked graves or graves with numbers, but the records for the cemetery (who is where) were burned in a fire in the 1950's. In the last few years, a group of administrators raised a lot of money and worked very hard to restore the area." ~ Pollysgrandaughter, from Find-A-Grave

I walked the entire cemetery, never saw a name or date on any stones, a few have faded numbers, but very few...only one stone had a name, it was a bench tombstone to Kathy Miller.

On a hill to the south side of the cemetery, and under an old oak tree, dying and aging poorly, is a bench, a sundial and a memorial, along with two hand carved statues...also weathered and aging fast.
Near this overlook is a pavilion and picnic facilities.
