The names on monument are the first white settlers that settled there.They were at war with the Indians, where the Indians were buried I dont know.

Guest - Nov 03, 2005 07:24 PM EDT nice that you found this, Carol. Did you just recently locate it, or had you known it was there before? Wondrin if it's a First Nations burial ground?
Guest - Nov 03, 2005 06:14 PM EDT No there are no headstones just rocks.It is surrounded by a rock wall of sorts.Also you have to walk into the woods to find this cemetery. Thanks for comment.
