I have named this cemetery the "John Rogers Cemetery" because his grave and that of his wife Elizabeth appear to be the oldest in the cemetery and they are both the only graves in the cemetery located inside a fence. I welcome information recarding the family connections of those buried in this cemetery and will add it as comments here.

Infant of / G. R. and Della Rogers / Died / Oct 13, 1910 / (Based on this inscription, one can assume that G. R. Rogers was married to Nettie Duncan first and Della ? second.)

Elizabeth / Wife of / John Rodgers / Died / Nov 10, 1902 / Age 67 yrs / (The spelling of Rodgers on this stone must be an error since the spelling is Rogers on her husband's stone. This grave is also inside a fence.)
Two graves are marked by field stones. There could possibly be more unmarked graves in this cemetery.
