Comments
In the 1970's, some of the headstones were pulled up and piled near the back wall to make room for a parking lot, the graves were not moved only the stones. In 1982, the church purchased the property next door and expanded the lot. According to Walter Crocker, former Pastor of the church, the headstones were put back in, going by a hand written diagram that someone had made before the stones were removed. They may not have been 100% accurate.


Thanks to volunteer Ben & Jeannette Cooper for gathering information on this cemetery
