The cemetery seems out of place since it sits in front of a grass runway, which is part of the King Airfield, created in 1919. With the newest grave being 1852 this cemetery and graves were probably part of a family farm. Henry King erected the hangar on his dairy farm. You can see the hangar on the right in the photos.
