This cemetery is located on the converted "Cale's Dairy Farm" to the "Mingo Bottom Golf Course". The cemetery is located on the 4th tee of the Golf Course.

There were eleven stones standing upright. Of the eleven, only six stones were readable. The rest of the stones inscriptions were washed away and illegible. Therefore these records do not represent all the people in the cemetery, but it is a complete reading of all legible stones.

The cemetery is in bad condition. They do not cut the grass and there are many other stones leaning against the tree stump and still others leaning against other headstones. The cemetery is on a hill, overlooking the golf course below. It is a beautiful sight. I don't believe they are accepting new burials, as the cemetery is on a golf course.

I walked and transcribed this cemetery on Aug 17, 2003.
