The "Cemetery" is unmarked and in a small copse of trees on an unimproved lot next to a recent housing development. The burial area - about 12'x12' - is ringed with white stones and rosebush plantings. (as of Aug 2012)

There are 5 stones there, 2 small ones with initials only, and 3 larger ones that contain names, dates, and inscriptions. The larger stones have been broken, but have been glued back together and replanted in the ground. The initials on the smaller stones match the names of the women included in the larger stones, so the smaller stones might be 'duplicates'(?).

Given the density of the trees, it's not obvious whether these were the original burial sites for these stones or whether they were moved from somewhere else.
