Location:
Section 9, Township 40N, Range 30W - Ring Thunder Township
History:
Carl Johnson, in his WPA Grave Survey Report states, "I could not find anyone who knew when it was started. Its appearance is poor and there is no fence and the graves are hardly visible; it is in a cultivated field and they have plowed around it and the wind has blown in loose sand so that you can hardly make out the graves."
It was located on land owned by Marion Georgoff, now owned by Bob Adrian, who was helpful in locating it
The X's in the pictures1 indicate some of the grave placements. The Grave Survey Reports at least 15 graves.
