Section 2

There is a wide area with no apparent stones that separates Section 1 and 2. Section 2 starts on the southern edge of the cemetery with an old monolith-style stone that is almost in the road. There is a tree near this marker, with numerous damaged stones leaning around it.

Mother do not lonely be
But live aright and come to me
Sister I am happy now
A crown is bright upon my brow
Brother meet me here
