community Directions: This overgrown and unused cemetery is in the woods beyond the residence and, like all private cemeteries not readily accessible from the road, you should have prior permission before visiting. You will need a guide to find it.

Numerous fieldstones and depressed areas were seen. Initial estimate of 60 graves. According to current resident, his father bought the farm from the Gales family around 1955. One burial occurred after that date. All others were prior to 1955. The tombstone found was a double for twin brothers. Lonnie GALES / Jan 12, 1931 / Apr 3, 1949 /
