Commentary:
This graveyard has been abandoned for many years. It has several massive monuments that stood in splendor at one time. There is a stone for a Civil War Soldier who perished Camp Douglas, a Union Prison. Some of monuments are still standing though all are threatened by cattle moving freely among them in the summer to escape the heat. Cattle dung is all around the cemetery.
