This cemetery was desecrated by men on a bulldozer back in April 1983. A neighbor observed this destruction where some of the gravestones were plowed down and run over to break them in pieces. Sadly, the neighbor did not know any descendants of the people buried in the cemetery and was legally limited to actions to stop the desecration. However this neighbor was able to stop the total destruction of the cemetery. The farm adjacent to this cemetery is known as the Heister Farm. Documents show that Kirby W. Reese is the owner of this farm who currently tills the soil all around this cemetery and was the owner when the desecration took place.
