Shortly after we purchased our home my husband was cleaning out this area of our property and located these tombstones. We are trying to fix the area with flowers and shrubs.
There are several unmarked graves, that have rocks to mark their place. Unsure if they are other family members
About a year after we moved here an elderly gentleman, who had to use a voice box, was visiting the neighbor and said that the lady buried here was his grandmother, and she had been an Indian and could not be buried with her husband in a "white" cemetery. He visited for a brief while and we were able to send him home with flowers from the cemetery to take to his mother, who was in a nursing home, and was very elderly.
