Total of 11 unknown graves, some marked with simple Bois D'Arc wooden stakes. One of which is 20 ft outside of cemetery as it is today, but which was once approx 1 - 1.5 acres (now plowed over)! Metal detector and probe rod indicates there are occupants below. Large area in center and south part of cem. seems devoid of any markers - could indeed be more burials here. Likely these are area poor people who could not afford stone markers.
