Initially, there were several open air masonry benches with high backs in place, usually with a flat, slab-like wooden grave marker placed at the foot end of a grave. For this reason, this cemetery is also known as Slab Bench Cemetery.
Cemetery is in very poor condition with total internments listed as being 84 according to my research. It is evident, many stones are missing and those present are in very fragile condition. Cache is hidden well away from graves, but care should be taken during your search.

The " Instant Relative Series " is a means to connect stories with names, lives and memories of intriguing people from the past. Series has been created because of our interest in history, genealogy research, people and Geo-caching. Instant relatives are not related directly to our family. BUT …who knows? The goal is to geocache cemeteries to share stories which will entertain, educate and on occasion provide a little humor. If one should find inaccuracies within information as posted, please email and corrections will be made as necessary.
