The cemetery is located 20' north of Burke Rd., 200' west of Silas Burke Park. It contains only one large obelisk, in memory of J> A> MARSHALL (1821-1892) and MARY J. MARSHALL (1826-1887), and three footstones. The elaborate obelisk is about 14' high, with inverted torches on each corner, and capped by a draped urn.

MARY J. MARSHALL
Death: MAY 3, 1887
Comment: Front of obelisk inscribed "A precious one from us has gone. A voice we ì
loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home which never can be ì
filled. God in his wisdom has recalled the boon his love has given, and ì
though the body moulders here, the soul is safe in heaven."
