P.S. All thes graves had marble tombstones. My grandfather's was furnished by the military department, as he served in the Union Army during the Civil War (From New York state).
The Turner graves are located in the S.E. corner. The Summers graves were moved, also a Covalt. The old Grandparents Knouf were still there in 1940. Also the Biddle. Mr. Biddles was a brother of Mat Finley's wife. Wm. Bossler was the last person to be buried there. His mother and brother George are buried there. My Grandfather had a clause put into the deed to the farm as to some requirements conserning the right of way to the cemetery. By

Researcher notes:
The marker for Samuel Covalt is still in the cemetery.
In George Bossler's obituary, only his brother Charles is listed as surviving, so George was probably the last burial rather than William.
