As typical of most Indian Cemeteries, it is rustic with few granite headstones. It is difficult to know how many graves are here, as traditionally graves were marked with a simple wooden marker that deteriorates over time or no marker at all.
The perimeter of the cemetery is fenced and has an entrance gate. This is a very small cemetery. The first known interment was in 1897 and the last known interment was in 1912. We believe there are earlier unknown burials in this cemetery.
Out of respect, we did not enter the cemetery. Please respect this final resting place of these souls.
There are recorded at Find a Grave 9 known interments. (listed are 10, one is a duplicate.)
