Cemetery was destroyed in the 1960s and tombstones were broken up and piled in a heap.   Until that time, there were 25 or 30 tombstones in place, some with dates as early as 1840.  These inscriptions were recorded Nov. 2, 1975 by David Weilmuenster (now deceased) and cemetery revisited by A.E.Gallagher 20 Feb 1996.
