The following graves
were not included in the original survey from 1968 and have been added
from my own information. The grave of A.
R. Russell is located several yards from the remainder of the cemetery. It appears that he may have been the namesake
for which the cemetery was named. A
second marker is located to the foot of the grave of A. R. Russell. This appears to be a military marker, but is
almost completely buried. Only the top
of the marker is visible above ground. A
third, unmarked grave is also to the left of A. R. Russell.
