In front of the wall is a granite stone that states “Dedicated to the Pioneers of this Community” and the area is backed by a wrought-iron fence.

This memorial displaying the only remaining stones from the cemetery is situated in one corner of the cemetery, and the rest is paved over by a strip mall. It is believe that none of the burials have been removed.
