There seems to be no regular surveyed plat of the original part of this cemetery, but William Windish and wife on February 15, 1890, had an addition laid out on the west side of the old cemetery. This was regularly laid out with walks between the rows of lots and contains seventy-two lots. It appears that the old part of this cemetery was taken out of the farm then owned by Job Short, and those wishing to bury their dead chose any location that suited their fancy the best. This cemetery is enclosed with a good iron fence on the north and west sides and a common fence on the south and east sides. Many have put cement curb around their respective lots, thus giving them a neat look. Flowers are planted upon the graves which shows the respect the living have for the dead.
