There are only two graves, and they are located in a remote area on private property. There is no signage, and the low markers were obscured by the tall grass. Without a guide, the cemetery would be very difficult to find. The cemetery is not fenced and does not appear to be regularly maintained. The marker inscriptions read:R. S.
