Read the 1981 Transcript and added notes below photographs The cemetery is in terrible shape and fenced off from the public....a neighbor told me cows had knocked down the fence several times over the years and broken the tombstones. I have enclosed three photos: the first shows a sign inside, "Bush" and was taken from the road. The second was taken from the northwest corner and you can see several broken stones which appear to be neatly stacked. The third was taken from the northeast corner and shows one "short" stone at the perimeter of the cemetery. I was unable to determine whether it was a very small stone or part of a broken one.

More data is needed on the remainders of the tombstones in the future.
