History:
This is the despriction of the cemetery by Carl Johnson1 dated 29 December 1940. "The general appearance is poor, the fence is tore down, and the graves are hardly visible, there are no roads or streets. The cemetery is no longer in use and no one hardly ever goes there."
The cemetery was organized in 1889 by Antone and Alex Bordeaux and was abandoned by 1903. In 1940, John Bordeaux had the records of the cemetery. The cemetery was Catholic.
