Survey - This cemetery was surveyed on March 1, 1974. Photograph by Milton Forsyth in January, 2005. Only one fieldstone marker appears in the photo, but note how the entire cemetery area is covered in vinca major (periwinkle). This is often found in old cemeteries and is something to watch for when searching for a cemetery in a wooded area in winter when this particular vegetation may be prominently visible.
