This waymark is in a cemetery that was "stolen" by the farmer. He would drag headstones to the ditch and bury them, taking one row at a time to add to his fields. Now there are only 9 markers left, scattered in a farmer's field. Most of these surviving stones are toppled and can only be located by the large clumps of weeds surrounding them.
This marker is toppled. The top has been been broken on one corner. The "four log" base is sitting next to it (can be seen in one of the pictures.
Was the inscription legible?: Yes

Location of Marker/Monument: Cemetery
