There were a few stones that were totally unreadable and a couple of bases (without stones) that were visible. A few stones were leaning up against a tree; only one was readable...with the initials P.G. Below is a transcription of the cemetery that was "walked" by Janine Crandell on September 6, 2003. Some of the pictures were taken in April, 2003.
