No sign of the church foundation is visible. For that matter, nothing defines the boundaries of the cemetery. Not recommended for the faint hearted. Bad ants and other insects, poison ivy and oak, and much underfoot neither visible nor identifiable. I went in with a machete. Likely 50% more could be found with probing and winter visibility. Surprisingly, a very late burial occurred in this cemetery in 1946 after it had been long abandoned. One broken stone found was not read as the ants were in charge of it (big time). (GCW)
