One of the earliest grave I found in this cemetery is that of
Joshua Armstrong a Revolutionary War veteran buried in 1844. There were a few
that were dated earlier. The newest graves were dated in the 1940's. Many stones
were broken and/or tipped over including some of the newer stones. There is also
at least one pile of graves stones. As is visible in the pictures the cemetery
is quite over grown.
