According to Bill Norton in early 2002, "This cemetery was difficult to document because it was in such a heavily wooded area. I was able to locate three headstones with legible writing and three other places where there was evidence of a grave. I interviewed Katie Mae Pride who is 94 and lives near the cemetery. She was able to provide three other names. I intend to visit her again shortly."
