Markers appear to have been repaired/reset at some point – overall pretty good a few could use leveling.

Notes

Cemetery is in a yard in a section that is fairly overgrown, but protected. It is thick with poke berries and briars and sprinkled with yucca plants, creeper and a large boxwood. Whole burial area appears to be on an acute hump – a high point is not unusual, but it does appear soil may have been pushed in/piled up against it in past. This coupled with thick cover makes depression assessments near impossible and obscures even downed markers. Per informant the large standing rock in the yard came from across the road near the homeplace and is *not* associated with this cemetery or a burial.
