Notes/Comments
This is a complex burial plot. At first look it appears to be an individual burial but perhaps representing a family burial. Based on evidence of a smaller headstone in front of main pedestal with a second inscription. Historical records provided by ........................, indicate background of this burial plot. Multiple base pedestalwith bulbous top that has been broken at top. That top piece has been cemented into base of small headstone. Concurrently to recording this information sandhill cranes flew overhead. This grave site is 18' from the next section to the west and 30' from perimeter fence.
