Submitter's Comments:
The names listed are from a map drawn by my mother in 1920 on instructions
by her grandfather James William Arthur, who along with his father Alexander
Arthur (Chandler Arthur's son) buried almost everybody in the cemetery. So I
feel everything is correct including the graves marked with just
fieldstones. Geraldine Workman (the society also surveyed the cemetery) thinks
there are a few unmarked graves there also but the map doesn't indicate
it (??)
4) The cemetery is located
at bottom of large hill on left, surrounded by chain link fence.
