Geocache Description:


This cemetery is a long forgotten place, though well managed for how old it is. There are only 7 interments here, most are of the Swank family.

From the records it appears that Jacob Swank, married Sarah Swank, whom later interred her parents Barbara and John Rasor. It is assumed that after Sarah's passing in 1851, Jacob remarried Mary Swank. 

There are also two infants here, Both named Alvin, one Swank the other Waitman.

Alvin Swank aged 1year, 1 month and 3 days. Alvin Waitman only aged for 6 weeks.

I find it very interesting to find these little family cemeteries still taken care of today.
