Many of the burial sites have become sunken with time and are unmarked. Many of those which do have stones contain no inscriptions. Several of the graves are covered with sandstone slabs. In the spring of 1994, the writer and three other people undertook the responsibility of cleaning up the overgrown cemetery with hopes of restoring this historical site. Before we began this project, you could drive past the cemetery which is next to the road without realizing that a cemetery was there.
Much work remains to complete the project.
But as of this spring you can walk around in the cemetery and look at the markers and see where many of the unmarked graves are located. We also hope to have a dedication ceremony at the cemetery during the Bicentennial. Other members of Colonel Stephen Copeland s family are possibly buried here because graves of several of his children have not been located.
