Cemetery is located in section seven of Baltimore
Township. We did not find stones on May 31, 2004 but did talk to the
persons who live in the first house on Marsh Avenue north of 300th
street. They said they had found stones, across the road west, up on
the ridge/hill. There are cattle running in that pasture. Richard
walked in and over to the north and back 100 or so yards to the end
of the ridge.
First burial is either in 1845 or 1848. There appear to
be six burials.

Imagine 93, if the latter dates would make him a lot
younger than his wife.
