????: There were a great number of small markers in this cemetery, usually about 8" wide and 20" long, fallen or placed flat in the ground and flush with the surface. All were dug out and checked for inscriptions. Many were blank, and looked more like stone scraps than formal markers. The following are the miscellaneous footstones that were found, which could not be matched with any particular family: J.H.M., R.M., Maria, Emil/Sohn von (bottom half of stone missing), Vater, A.P., CH.G., G.A. B.K., J.R.W., Vater, H.P., D.W., Mother, C.L.W., D.S., CHAS, Father, E.S., Father, Mutter, AEPL, W.M., M.T., J. FW, Raymond, Mutter, Amanda, H.A.J.P., G.S., Vater, Vater, A.J.T., Mutter.
