Other information: The property owner's uncle, Donald Parker, farmed the land and recalls about 15 headstones. A neighbor, Joyce Kachergis's daughter Ann, recalls at least 20 headstones, some with inscriptions that she tried to make rubbings of as a child. Only three fieldstone markers could be located by Glenn Lazarus when he visited in May 2012 due to the extremely overgrown condition of the site. Property owner Donald Parker accompanied the surveyor who created the 2021 plat. The notes on the plat made by the surveyor say that several unmarked stones and depressions were found in the corrected location. It was suggested that the number and location of graves should be determined by a professional in that field of study.
Miscellaneous information: The site was reported to CCHA in 1991 by Murray Parker.
