CATES CEMETERY |
Millie's note
This was a nice small cemetery at one time and many of Robert and Nancy
(JOHNSON) CATES families were buried here.
The person that owned the land did not allow a fence to be kept around it so his cows walked in and destroyed many of the stones.
The graves for Robert and his wfie, Nancy, were dug up and moved to another cemetery, I think the Johnson Cemetery but I can not find their stones there.
This cemetery is in Barnhill Township in a field 'where cows roam'. Comfort CATES is my great great Uncle. My cousin in CA wrote and told me the only stones left are the following.
