William H Carner Family Cemetery

Several broken markers needing repair that can hopefully get reset and epoxied. Overall plot needs some clearing but is generally in decent shape. Plot is surrounded by a chain link fence with a number of repaired and damaged sections near some pines – an informant describes the area as having been used to grow and harvest Christmas trees for years – and is somewhat well protected.

In spite of Keister name of plot, land was originally William H Carner homeplace and likely began with a burial of his daughter Nancy in 1863 and saw additional Carner children and grandchildren burials before the land was sold to daughter and her husband Pearl M Keister. Additionally J S Danner and spouse lived on a parceled piece of the land and likely are interred here along with daughter Mary E Bragg.

Plot sits within a hundred yards of the homeplace along edge of a cleared field.
