Note: se. Harry visited this cemetery on Mar 6, 1999 and found it to be in a very bad condition. Grave marker for Eliza Klutts Barton is readable. Many of the grave markers have been turned over by the cattle in the pasture. According to Mr. Ronald Brock, his father bought this farm in 1948 and it had previously been owned by a Mr. Crowe. Their was evidence around the dwelling at that time that "bricks" had been manufactored there. (census records indicate Jacob Klutts was a brick mason) Other graves include the following names: Frank Cowe, Biggs, Williams, Gozzard, Dickens.
