Condition: 
This cemetery is located in typical hill country pastureland, covered by mesquite, mountain cedar, catclaw, bee brush, prickly pear and other cacti, tall prairie grass and needle grass. It covers about .5 of an acre and is fenced by a four ft. high wire fence. There is an entrance gate at the southwest corner of the west fence line. About one third of the cemetery along the south fence line west to east is well maintained. However, the remainder shows evidence of complete neglect. Mesquite and other thorn-brush need to be removed and the entire area is consumed by tall grass that makes locating gravesites very difficult.
