Leneta and Marcia have also stated that after the 2011 tornado, that this cemetery is now in sad shape. They have reported that it is getting over grown, deep holes where the graves are, broken monuments, and monuments falling in the holes. Some work has been done, but more is needed.

A very big "Thank You" to Leneta Hopper Pender, and her daughter, Marcia Pender, for taking the time to visit the cemetery to take pictures,and collect information, to help me make a better listing for this cemetery. Thank you.
