Walk about ¼ of a mile or till you come to the burial site of the single grave, continue a short ways further and you will be at the gated & fenced in area of the other 2 graves.

This private family burial plot was est. 1912 has 3 graves which are located on the high bank of the river below and are now a part of the Hayes Lake State Park est. 1967. There is approx a 30 by 30 wire fence with a gate around 2 of the graves.

This family burial plot is not active at this time. Maintenance is done by family or other interested persons.

A walk thru, reading of family burials was done by myself & Eunice Lund on May 12, 2010. A digital camera was used for pictures.
