Other_Information:
I believe the cemetery has been neglected for well over 40 years, the tree
growth is so thick that I had to walk a deer path through to find a
gravestone. There is a marker in front of the cemetery that lists all the
people who are buried. Most abandoned cemeteries in the Shiwassee county
area (that have not been obliterated) burials ceased around the late 1800's.
