Damage Noted

One marker down, several tomb rocks leaning.

Notes

A well maintained plot surrounded by a nice chain link fence. Evidence of massive trees that once surrounded the plot and were cut within last 10 years begs question if any damage or losses occurred during that time or if the names in previous survey where known unmarked burials from an informant. Plot is additionally protected by electric fencing to discourage cattle from rubbing up on chain link. Previous survey lists several names not noted and more relevantly has named the plot Samuel Carl Ferguson Cemetery – we did not observe a marker for him, but seeing as his sons are here and the farm is still in descendants hands it certainly is plausible. Obituaries for himself and spouse both indicate burial in home cemetery. 4 Tomb rocks noted but one may be a footstone for J B Ferguson. More research needed to confirm these and any additional interments.
