The site where the graves are is very overgrown with brush and wild roses with many headstones nearly covered completely with dirt and debris. We suspect there may be other graves here. It is partially fenced with barb wire. Several graves were enclosed in their own fencing.
YEEND children's names were all on one large stone together, also each had their name on a small stone and laid out in a row. *denotes information on the small stone.
