Surnames: Grace, Fisher, Horney, Hahn, Samuel, Shutts, Veterans buried here.

Other Information: Kate & I have talked with the People who own the property adjoining the cemetery.  They are very nice and she's given us permission to clean up the cemetery.  Here I have or will have to get more help as there are trees that need to be cut down, tombstones, that need to be reset, and the like.  Nobody has been to visit or inquire about the cemetery for several years.  She said Horney descendants were back and looked at it a few years back.
