This
cemetery is no longer in existence. It
was on the land owned by
G. A. (possibly George A.) Akin in the late 1800s.
Once said to be very
large with possible over 30 tombstones, the land is now under cultivation.
It is possible that George and his wife are buried here as well as other
Akin family
members.
