  Condition:This old cemetery measures about 20 feet north to south and 30 feet east to west. The cemetery is fenced with three feet high chain-link fencing with a gate at mid-point in the south fence line. Most graves are not visible from outside the cemetery because of a heavy growth of tall prairie grass, extensive yucca, and some thorn brush and catclaw. Footing is somewhat treacherous because of the many animal dens that are hidden from view by the heavy growth of grass and yucca plants. Much thorn brush had to be cut away and removed in order to see and record information inscribed on the tombstones.
