12 Feb 1987 commentary: This is one of the cemeteries that has been destroyed. Only a pile of stones remains. The massive monument that marked the grave of Martin P. Erwin is turned face downward and other stones are beneath it or piled around it. This listing is from They Passed This Way. [F.L.H.]
24 Mar 2009 commentary: This cemetery must have been restored by someone since then. I found the large monument standing and a wrought iron fence with no gate around the graves. [W.A.]
