Inscription

This inscription is from a 1981 document that has a history of the cemetery and a list of who is buried there. "b. 1792 d. Nov. 21, 1859 age 67y 2m 4d. Vet. 1812. Many, perhaps most, of the tombstones have been bulldozed or thrown into the tree line at the back of the cemetery. This must have happened after 1981, when the inscriptions were transcribed. A sad state of affairs for this old cemetery.
