About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The burying ground is now on private property. At one time, the property was the farm of William Young Ritter and his son Murry Connie Ritter.
Many of the tombstones and remains were moved here after a road or lake was built too close to the original burying ground. There are 15 marked graves but many sunken in areas that appear to have been graves as well. Two graves are marked only by a rock.
The cemetery fell into ruins over the last sixty years. The farmer that owns it said teenagers had done a lot of the damage and most of the tombstones are broken and knocked over. One grave has been desecrated by a having a bonfire built on top of it.
