Survey - Mrs. Engstrom, Mrs. M. Nygard, Dr. Duncan Heron, and Mr. Mills, logging supervisor, surveyed the cemetery on August 6, 1975. Dr. Duncan Heron made slide photographs of the area, which he made available to Milton Forsyth as scanned images in March 2005.

Many graves, 7 or 8 rows, with matching rough stones and depressions. Several tall slender stones and a child's grave in a circle of stones. In dense woods in the center of ongoing logging operations. A large 50' X 80' area, on what was edge of old field. View original notes from the survey.
